VegTech™ Invest, Advisor to EATV, the VegTech™ Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF, throws historic party at The New York Stock Exchange celebrating the EATV listing and world's first Plant-based Innovation ETF, (NYSE: EATV).
LOS ANGELES, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EATV (NYSE: EATV), the VegTech™ Plant-based Innovation & Climate ETF, made history on June 23rd, when its advisor, VegTech™ Invest, threw a party at The New York Stock Exchange celebrating the listing of the world's first Plant-based Innovation ETF.
A World's First: Plant-based Innovation Defines a New Impact Asset Class
"With the EATV ETF, we are proud to create a completely new impact asset class: Plant-based Innovation & Alternative Proteins. The ETF has over 40 companies up and down the supply chain that are innovating with plants and plant-derived ingredients to create animal-free products for sustainable consumption to address climate change and food security," said CEO of VegTech™ Invest, Elysabeth Alfano.
"The EATV ETF drives capital to companies innovating to disrupt the current food supply system with plant-based products that require fewer resources to produce than the animal-based counterparts. I believe this efficiency addresses food security, is less damaging to the environment, and is critical to fighting climate change," explains Dr. Sasha Goodman, EATV Fund Manager.
"Given the global, urgent need to combat climate change, diminishing planetary and human health and food insecurity issues, we believe that Plant-based Innovation, a way of mitigating these crises, is at the beginning stages of a global megatrend," shared Alfano. "Individual investors and governments recognize the need to invest in Plant-based Innovation as a solution for change in the food and materials supply chains."
A Swiss Army Knife Approach: The Power of Impact
Plant-based Innovation is a Swiss Army knife approach to tackling some of the world's most pressing issues. According to a University of Michigan Life Cycle Analysis, a Beyond Meat burger uses 99% less water, 93% less land, emits 90% fewer greenhouse gases and uses 46% less energy.
The top ten constituents of EATV as of 5/2/22 are Ingredion (NYSE:INGR), Givaudan (SW:GIVN), E.L.F Beauty Inc (NYSE:ELF), Amyris Inc (NASDAQ:AMRS), Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND), Sensient Technologies Corp (NYSE:SXT), Yukiguni Maitake (JP:1375), Limoneira (NASDAQ:LMNR), Thai Wah Public Co (TB :TWPC-R), Mission Produce (NASDAQ:AVO), and Vitasoy International (HK:345). Oatly (NASDAQ: OTLY) and Gingko BioWorks (NASDAQ: DNA) are also in the fund.
Party: EATV-Style
The historic party of almost 100 included visiting the NYSE trading floor, a short overview of the fund from Elysabeth and a toast by members of The Good Food Institute. Bankers, Global Wealth Managers, Institutional and Impact Investors, and New York's Broadway elite were also in attendance.
