Feel like society and the environment are beginning to break down? There's an ETF for that.
Newday Impact's Sustainable Development Goals ETF (SDGS) delivers a growth-oriented product that promotes dual impact, promising to advocate for environmental and social improvements and donating 10% of revenues to global youth education and skills development programs.
American Dystopia
Partnering with a veritable who's who of progressive economists, scientists, and non-profit organizations, the firm's investment criteria rests on a sophisticated analysis of global ills and solutions. This approach may turn off investors who disdain concepts like decarbonizing the economy, but should resonate with anyone who feels like Mad Max may just drive down Mainstreet, U.S.A. any day now.
Though the problems are global, the U.S. is a great place to focus on these daunting problems, according to Newday's President, Anne Popkin. "It doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you're on," said Popkin. The U.S. has "food inflation, heat waves, rising tides in the south, and fires in California. It's all happening here."
Limits to Growth
The ETF's rationale is based on the belief that the planet's ability to withstand human impact on the environment is limited. When these limits are exceeded, we are said to have gone beyond the "planetary boundaries" of the earth. In fact, several resources, like forested land—central to food, fuel, clean water and air—have already been pushed beyond a safe limit of use.
