About this ETF
The investment seeks investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the Emles Protective Allocation Index. The index is designed to provide exposure to those publicly traded securities that can preserve capital and survive through a longer and more persistent economic downturn. In general, no less than 80% of the exposure in the index will be comprised of corporate credit securities and equity securities issued in the U.S. by U.S. companies and American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), based on percentage of capital deployed (or exposure) in the index. The fund is non-diversified.

Latest News for DEFN
No articles mention this fund directly in the last 7 days — showing general ETF coverage.
Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
