The
DEMZ Political Contributions Fund ETF
(NASDAQ:

launched
Tuesday, Nov. 3, coinciding with the 2020 election.
The ETF selects components from the S&P 500 that give at least 75% of political contributions to the Democratic Party and related PACs.
Fund sponsor Reflection Asset Management utilizes third-party data around political contributions compiled by Goods Unite Us, a nonpartisan technology data platform, according to a filing by the ETF.
“DEMZ provides U.S. large-cap equity exposure, while maintaining the integrity of owning only those companies that share the investor’s commitment to Democratic causes and candidates,” said CEO Jason Britton.

The MAGA ETF is down 7% in 2020 and has lost value since it first went public in 2017.
