There’s a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) in town, and its name is the God Bless America ETF (NYSEARCA:YALL). The ETF seeks to invest in “anti-woke” companies and avoid investing in companies that make “left-leaning statements” that are “unrelated” to their businesses. Furthermore, the fund will take into consideration “well recognized” valuation metrics, such as the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios and relative dividend yields. Specifically, the YALL ETF will search for companies with low P/E ratios and high job growth.

In its prospectus, the fund noted:

To determine whether a company emphasizes politically left and/or liberal political activism and social agendas the Sub-Adviser analyzes articles, websites, newspaper advertisements, press releases, TV appearances, other forms of mass communication and comments made by company spokespersons.

YALL will not be limited to certain industries and will have the capability to actively invest in sectors like customer discretionary, energy, and information technology. Toroso Investments first announced the ETF this summer, which will be sub-advised by Curran Financial.

Meanwhile, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns will not be an issue for YALL. The trend of putting ESG concerns aside comes as other ETFs have been launched to convey this message, such as the Point Bridge America First ETF (BATS:MAGA).

With that in mind, here are seven things to know about the YALL ETF.
