VEGX is passively managed to track an index that screens companies from developed markets outside of the US and Australia using ethical filters to exclude companies deriving more than 2% of revenue from activities related to animal exploitation, environmental harm, fossil fuels, tobacco, armaments, or human rights abuses. After screening, the remaining companies are weighted by market capitalization, with individual holdings capped at 5%. The index is reconstituted semi-annually each June and December. To achieve its investment objective, the fund may employ either a full replication or representative sampling strategy, investing in securities that closely mirror the risk and return characteristics of the index. This fund is directed towards investors seeking international equity exposure while aligning their portfolio with values centered on animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility.
