Our read on VEGN
In short
FMost ESG funds sand off the rough edges. VEGN starts from a vegan rulebook: animal-welfare, environmental and climate exclusions applied to a US stock index, replicated passively since its 2019 launch.
Stated mandate
The Fund seeks to track the Beyond Investing US Vegan Climate Index before fees and expenses. It uses passive indexing, generally replicating the Index while applying its vegan, animal-welfare, environmental, and climate-related exclusions.
