Our read on VEGN

ETF.net Research

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.

Why people hold it

  • One rulebook, plainly stated: vegan, animal-welfare, environmental and climate exclusions, then passive replication of whatever survives the screen.
  • Follows a named, published benchmark (the Beyond Investing US Vegan Climate Index), so what's in and out follows written index rules rather than manager discretion.
  • Live since 2019, so a screen this specific has a multi-year record in a real US equity portfolio, not a backtest.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.60% a year it costs more than double the typical fund in its ESG cohort. Broad screened peers like ESGV and SNPE charge about a tenth of a percent.
  • Thinly traded, so limit orders matter and spreads can run wider than in the mega ESG index funds.
  • Screening out whole industries pulls the portfolio away from the broad US market, so its results can diverge from it in either direction.
