INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Why Invest In Wildlife Conservation & Animal Welfare?
This portfolio invests in both domestic and international securities and seeks long-term capital appreciation. The portfolio features companies upholding the highest ethical standards in animal care, including animal testing, living conditions for animals in captivity, and the continued protection and restoration of natural habitats.
THE NEWDAY DIFFERENCE
Broad Approach to Supporting Life on Land
Our goal is to ensure that all wildlife and wildlife habitats are protected, that animals are entitled to ethical treatment and not just subjects of human utility. This portfolio invests in companies that broadly support environmental stewardship, bio-diversity, and the welfare of animals.
Collaboration and Partnership
This portfolio specifically focuses on companies that are committed to the development of international standards on animal welfare, and the protection of wildlife habitats around the world. A key component of our work is in partnering with local and global organizations that support the protection of animal rights and welfare.
High Concentration of Pure Plays
We construct portfolios to ensure at least 50% of portfolio constituents are “pure plays” tied to the ESG theme. Every company in our portfolios has either direct or indirect connection to the impact issue with which it’s associated, and every portfolio is connected to an NGO or nonprofit partner.
