American Conservative Values ETF Hails Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ Crack Down on Big Tech

American Conservative Values ETF • February 8, 2021

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today the American Conservative Values ETF (NYSE: ACVF) hails FloridaGovernor Ron DeSantis’ effort to crack down on Big Tech.

“Governor DeSantis’ effort to rein in Big Tech is a bold and necessary move to hold Big Tech responsible for silencing free speech and it also validates our decision to boycott investing in companies that may threaten our liberties,” said Tom Carter president of Ridgeline Research adviser to the American Conservative Values ETF.

Moreover, the governor’s action highlights the potential business risk in terms of potential financial penalties, lawsuits and reputational damage for companies that censor Conservative thought and expression. “Big Tech is creating political backlash by selectively targeting conservatives,” added Carter. 

DeSantis announced he wants legislation to penalize companies he described as “monopoly communications platforms” such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple and Amazon that use their dominance to censor Republican voices. 

“We believe companies that engage in advancing a liberal agenda may negatively impact shareholder returns over the long run,” said Carter.

Specifically, DeSantis proposes the legislation will establish a $100,000-a-day fine to punish companies that remove a political candidate from platforms and another measure would allow Floridians and Florida’s attorney general the ability to file lawsuits if social media platforms do not equally apply standards.  

“We created the American Conservative Values ETF for the political conservative investor who wants to avoid investing in companies that actively attack their political values,” added Carter.

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting ACVETFS.com. Read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing.

An investment in the Fund is subject to risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Overall stock market risks may affect the value of individual securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund is actively managed, and the adviser’s investment decisions impact the Fund’s performance. The Fund and adviser are new, and the ETF has only recently commenced operations. This Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

The equity securities in which the Fund invests will generally be those of companies with large market capitalizations. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, and will fluctuate in market value. Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the Fund attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing. The Fund is new and has a limited operating history.

The ACVF Fund is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

The Fund is structured as an ETF and as a result, is subject to special risks. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined) and do not represent the return you would receive if you traded at other times.
