Our read on WOMN
DThe rare ETF where the fee is part of the pitch: sponsor Impact Shares is itself a 501(c)(3) that routes net advisory profits to YWCA USA, while the portfolio tracks a Morningstar index that scores US companies on gender equality.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Morningstar Women’s Empowerment Index.
Why people hold it
- Sponsor Impact Shares is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and donates net advisory profits from WOMN to YWCA USA. The management fee doubles as a funding channel, not just a cost line.globenewswire.comywca.org
- The screen has teeth. Equileap's Gender Equality Scorecard, built into the Morningstar index, grades companies on 19 criteria including workforce gender balance, the pay gap and paid parental leave.indexes.morningstar.com
- Roughly 180 US large and mid caps, so it reads like diversified equity with a tilt rather than a narrow sector bet. Pays quarterly and has been trading since 2018.globenewswire.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.75%, it prices above the typical thematic fund. That gap is also what feeds the YWCA donation, so the cost and the mission are the same dollar.globenewswire.com
- A small fund that trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on giant index products, particularly in fast-moving markets.
- A gender-equality screen reshapes the lineup, so results can drift from a plain broad US market index in either direction.indexes.morningstar.com
