SNPEAXtrackers S&P 500 Scored & Screened ETF

VEGNFUS Vegan Climate ETF

In short

SNPE The S&P 500 with roughly 200 names screened out, for 0.10% a year. SNPE keeps the plumbing of a plain core index fund and lets S&P's rules, not a stock picker, decide who stays in the basket.

VEGN Most 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

SNPE The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its underlying index.

VEGN 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

  • SNPE A 0.10% expense ratio puts it in the cheap seats of the screened-index crowd, alongside XVV (0.08%) and ESGV (0.09%) and well under the group's typical fee.
  • Plain index plumbing: it aims to match the S&P 500 Scored & Screened Index before fees, and it has hugged that mandate closely.
  • Roughly 300 stocks, so the screen actually bites. Around 200 S&P 500 members are cut outright rather than quietly trimmed.
  • A multi-billion-dollar Xtrackers fund running since 2019 with steady daily volume and quarterly payouts. Not a thin, untested launch.
  • VEGN 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

  • SNPE Cutting ~200 names concentrates what's left. The megacap leaders of the parent index end up carrying even more weight here.
  • The screens are S&P's, not yours. They are rules-based and reapplied at each rebalance, so the roster can shift without warning.
  • Not the outright cheapest option in the group: XVV and ESGV shave a basis point or two off the fee.
  • VEGN 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.
