American Conservative Values ETF (ACVF) Celebrates Five Years of Principals and Performance
Fund marks fifth anniversary, offers conservative investors a values-aligned large-cap alternative
Washington, D.C. — November 3, 2025 — American Conservative Values ETF (Ticker: ACVF) releases this announcement marking its five-year anniversary on October 30, 2025. Since launching in October 2020, ACVF has shown that investors do not have to choose between conservative principles and market returns. The fund has raised more than $135 million in assets while maintaining performance in line with broad large-cap benchmarks, all while boycotting companies deemed hostile to conservative values.
“Conservative investors are asking why they should fund companies working against their values,” said William Flaig, ACVF CEO and co-founder. “ACVF gives institutional and retail investors a professional, values-aligned option while targeting competitive returns.”
“We are very pleased with our first five years,” added Tom Carter, ACVF president and co-founder. “A five-year record is a key milestone for financial professionals. ACVF has moved from proof of concept to a demonstrated strategy that balances performance with principled boycotts.”
ACVF is currently excluding 39 companies that represent approximately 32% of the S&P 500® by weight. The fund prioritizes shareholder returns and seeks to avoid firms perceived to promote political agendas at the expense of meritocracy and shareholder value.
Key Highlights and Benchmarks
- Five years since inception (October 2020) with assets over $135 million
- Strategy seeks large-cap exposure while excluding 39 companies viewed as hostile to conservative values

Important Information
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. Foreside is not affiliated with Ridgeline Research, LLC, the Fund’s Investment Adviser.
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.
