- US Vegan Climate ETF (VEGN) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that tracks the Beyond Investing US Vegan Climate Index (VEGAN), providing investors with market-capitalization-weighted exposure to large- and mid-cap US companies screened for rigorous environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria focused on vegan and climate-conscious principles. The ETF excludes companies involved in animal exploitation such as animal testing, animal-derived products, animal farming, animals in sports or entertainment, and genetically engineered animals; planetary harms including fossil fuel extraction or refining, fossil fuel energy production, and other high-impact environmental activities like habitat destruction unless offset by positive initiatives; and human-related issues such as tobacco products, military and defense armaments, and human rights abuses including child or forced labor. VEGN offers a total expense ratio of 0.60%, lists on the Cboe BZX Exchange under ticker VEGN with CUSIP 26922A297, and maintains a diversified portfolio with top holdings limited to 5% each, including major positions in Alphabet Inc., Broadcom Inc., NVIDIA Corp., Apple Inc., and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. as of late 2025. Launched on September 9, 2019, and domiciled in the United States, VEGN is advised by Beyond Investing LLC, with sub-advisory services from Penserra Capital Management LLC; portfolio managers include Dustin Lewellyn and Ernesto Tong since inception, joined by Christine Johanson in August 2024. The fund primarily targets institutional and retail investors seeking ethical, cruelty-free alternatives to broad market indices like the S&P 500, demonstrating lower carbon emissions (Scope 1 & 2: 22.06 tonnes per $1M revenue vs. S&P 500's 93.90), Scope 3 emissions, waste, and water usage, while aiming to spare approximately 13,000 animals per $1M invested annually through its exclusions. Operations focus on North American developed markets, with approximately 95.9% US exposure and minor international allocations. Recent developments include a portfolio manager addition in August 2024 with Christine Johanson of Penserra, ongoing quarterly distributions rising to $0.1198 per share in December 2024 before moderating in 2025, a venue shift to Cboe BZX announced in November 2022, and press releases highlighting strong 2024 performance outperforming the S&P 500, a fifth anniversary celebration in October 2024, and emphasis on outstanding returns amid climate-focused investing in February 2025. Net assets stood at $129.50 million with 2.175 million shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025, reflecting sustained growth in a thematic ESG strategy segment. The index, developed in 2018 by Beyond Advisors IC (parent to the adviser), is calculated by Solactive AG and published real-time on Bloomberg and Reuters terminals.
