Impact Shares donates all net proceeds back to these nonprofit partners.

The YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF (NYSE: WOMN) is designed to provide exposure to companies worldwide with strong policies and practices in support of women’s empowerment and gender equality. A 5-Star Overall Morningstar-rated fund (as of 12/31/21 against 1,244 Large Blend Funds based on risk-adjusted returns), WOMN includes companies that align with the YWCA’s vision of how corporations can advance women’s empowerment and gender equality. Founded in 1858 as a voice for women’s issues, YWCA USA aims to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

“Impact Shares and the YWCA offer a truly unique product for investors, allowing them to potentially achieve equity market returns while driving social change,” says Muhleman. “I’m honored to join the team and help leverage the power of capital in the fight for gender equity.”

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. ETFs and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three- year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. WOMN was rated five stars against 1,244 numbers of U.S.-domiciled Large Blend funds for the three year period.
