The US Vegan Climate ETF (Ticker: VEGN) seeks to track the Beyond Investing US Vegan Climate Index (VEGAN). VEGAN screens large cap US companies for a variety of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) considerations, primarily animal harm and exploitation, as well as fossil fuels, environmental damage, and human rights.

By tracking the index, VEGN seeks to invest in companies that offer:

• A humane approach. VEGN seeks to provide market-capitalization-weighted exposure to US companies that satisfy its rigorous ESG standards, limiting its largest holdings to 5% of the total portfolio.
• Animal-friendly. VEGN aims to exclude from consideration companies that harm animals, screening out companies that are involved in animal testing, animal-derived products, as well as animals in sports or entertainment.
• Good for the environment, good for people. VEGN screens out companies involved in fossil fuels and their use in energy production and also excludes companies involved in military and defense, as well as human rights abuses.

Through its passive rules-based approach VEGAN seeks to avoid investments in companies whose activities directly contribute to animal suffering, destruction of the natural environment and climate change.

VEGAN is independently calculated and published real-time at VEGAN on Bloomberg and Reuters terminals as well as reported daily on the Solactive website.

The US Vegan Climate ETF is listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker VEGN, with a total expense ratio of 0.60%.

The prospectus explains the Index strategy and most importantly the policies developed by Beyond Investing, which are enshrined in the rules governing the Index.

These rules seek to address a broad range of activities that hurt animals and to exclude companies engaged in those practices from the Index. These include extraction and burning of fossil fuel due to the threat to the environment and wildlife posed by global warming.
