Description:  The Adasina Social Justice All Cap Global ETF is a highly diversified, global, all-cap portfolio that allows investors to align their portfolios with social justice values. The fund uses community-sourced impact data to set the standards for how publicly traded companies participate in gender, racial, economic, and climate justice.

Why We Invest: Besides the impact from the investments, Adasina was founded by a black woman who brings a different perspective. Only 1.3% of investments are managed by people of color or women. The network of community organizations she sources information from is closer to the ground and so aims to be more impactful than other funds. The investment was made shortly after launch to help grow the assets under management, so the fund could gain momentum, build credibility, and help it get listed on major platforms.
