Impact Investing in Alternative Proteins

The VegTech™ Index focuses on large-, mid- and small-cap companies building a more efficient, cruelty-free and eco-friendly food supply chain through disruptive technologies and innovation.  It offers exposure to companies that are innovating with plants and plant-derived ingredients to create animal free products for sustainable consumption, including alternative proteins. These companies produce consumer packaged goods, ingredients, biotechnology, agtech, scientific services and other innovations.

"With this index, we are providing a benchmark for the capital markets to be used in understanding the growth of plant-based innovation and alternative proteins, and the inherent investment opportunity therein," say Index Classification Committee member and EATV Fund Manager, Dr. Sasha Goodman.

First To Market at a Critical Time

Interest in sustainability and planetary health is on the rise, and plant-based consumption and plant-based investing are expected to continue to grow.

In an October 13, 2021 commentary, Innova Market Insights' Global Insights Director Lu Ann Williams noted, "One of the biggest shifts we are seeing is that the health of the planet is now the top concern of consumers. Personal health has been the big concern for the past few years, but consumers now tell us that this has been surpassed by global issues."

"We are proud to be the first to market with a non-tracking, active ETF (EATV) and an industry benchmark index (EATVI) that are laser focused on plant-based innovation and alternative proteins, including fermented proteins and cultivated meat.  These advancements are shifting our food and materials supply systems to be animal-free and sustainable. It's now or never," says Elysabeth Alfano.
