DKRB Decarbonization ETF

The Subversive Decarbonization ETF (Ticker: DKRB) primarily invests in equity securities of companies that are decarbonizing the energy sector. That includes investments in nuclear, wind, solar, and more efficient uses of oil and gas. It also includes supporting the underlying decarbonization infrastructure, the technology, and tools necessary to decarbonize the global energy supply chain. 

Targets will include companies dedicated to battery technology, wind and solar networks, nuclear energy, infrastructure, complimentary technology, and other companies involved in the production, distribution, and delivery of water and pricing of carbon.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of Decarbonization Companies.

In selecting investments for the Fund, we will primarily utilize quantitative factors while also considering qualitative ones, with a view toward growth and earning potential. In the selection process, we will give greater weight to Decarbonization Companies whose primary business models and growth prospects are aligned with building either infrastructure or applications that are necessary for decarbonization.

While renewable energy sources are likely not the sole, ultimate solution to decarbonization, we believe there is currently both economic and social value in renewable businesses. The Fund may, from time to time, invest in both wind and solar networks, but will consider whether such investments are appropriate for inclusion in DKRB’s portfolio on a cash flow valuation basis rather than the future valuation often
given to green energy projects. Notably, the Fund does not consider “decarbonization” to mean “no carbon”. Rather, DKRB will invest in companies that stand to benefit from the global economic trend toward decarbonization. As a result, some anticipated portfolio companies will have exposure to natural gas as a transitory fuel, while generally avoiding crude oil.
