(Bloomberg) –A new exchange-traded fund is betting on companies that support women at every level. Impact Shares Corp. will donate part of the fees charged for the YWCA Women's Empowerment ETF, which trades under the ticker WOMN, to the YWCA, which also helped set the investment criteria for the new fund.
The fund tracks the Morningstar Women's Empowerment Index, which selects companies based on strong gender diversity policies, commitment to equal pay and family-friendly programs like paid leave and flexible work options, among other criteria. As of now, Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. are the fund's top-two holdings.
