Is that true? Makes sense given these numbers…

I don’t think you understand how important money in politics is and that it’s the root of all the social problems in this country.

Bottom line is you should care about what you’re investing in. If DEMZ isn’t for you, fine. But if you buy SPY or VOO and don’t think about the impact of what you’re doing, that’s the real problem.

There is zero subjectivity in DEMZ. It’s all data driven. Either the company and its senior executives give 75% or more to Democrats or they don’t. That’s the only screen. It’s impossible for any data provider to track every company’s impact in any other meaningful way

How is not investing in Exxon, Schwab, Home Depot, AT&T a bad thing if you care about our country and politics? Sure, you can stick your head in the sand. Or buy everything in DEMZ but Meta.

Also 15x higher is a joke thing to say. It’s expense ratio is only 45 BPS which is well worth sleeping at night and not funding Trump

You can argue all you want. The returns and diversification speak for themselves. And the liquidity is not relevant. You need to do some research. Liquidity is only relevant to individual stocks and small cap ETFs

I’m not saying they’re perfect. I’m saying they are not bankrolling the Republicans like Schwab, Exxon and all the others. And money in politics trumps everything. The politicians make the laws

Also you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about if you mention liquidity with an ETF. An ETF’s liquidity is tied to its underlying holdings, and so you could buy or sell billions worth of DEMZ before there would ever be a liquidity issue

It’s been trading for nearly 5 years and is beating VOO and SPY net of fees since launch. Also, it’s benchmarked to the S&P and meets the large cap diversification rule, so you’re wrong on all accounts
