Our read on STNC

ETF.net Research

In short

DMost ESG funds are a screened S&P 500 index for a few basis points. STNC takes the other road: an active, roughly 70-stock book built from a sustainability ranking, a machine-learning screen and a tail-risk optimizer, at 0.95%.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It is an actively managed ETF investing at least 80% of net assets plus investment borrowings in exchange-traded equity securities of U.S. issuers meeting sustainability and fundamental financial standards.

Why people hold it

  • Three steps, not one: a rules-based sustainability ranking, a machine-learning screen, then an optimizer targeting tail risk and diversification. Positions target a 3.5% max, rebalanced quarterly.sec.gov
  • Hennessy retired the fund's semi-transparent wrapper and renamed it in 2025, so holdings are now disclosed like any ordinary ETF.sec.gov
  • Measures itself against the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index alongside the cap-weighted S&P 500, a fair yardstick for a position-capped portfolio of about 70 names.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.95%, the fee sits above the category's typical cost; index rivals XVV (0.08%) and EFIV (0.10%) screen the S&P 500 for a sliver of that.
  • Thinly traded, so spreads and order size matter more here than with the category's household names.
  • Active and model-driven: the prospectus flags model risk, and a 70-stock portfolio can drift a long way from broad ESG index funds.sec.gov
