ACVF Serves up Tyson in latest Boycott: Divesting in wake of putting Migrants over Americans
WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2024 / Yesterday, the American Conservative Values ETF (NYSE:ACVF) announced that it has divested its holdings of and initiated a "Refuse to Buy" rating on Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN)
After a comprehensive review of our continued investment, ACVF's management team has decided to divest its holding of Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN)). "Their recent decision to hire migrant workers while firing American workers, exposes their shareholders to backlash from one of the most contentious political issues of the day" stated CEO and co-founder William Flaig.
According to Pew Research, 80% of US Adults say the U.S. government is doing a bad job handling the migrant influx.
"The risk of alienating 80% of your customers outweighs any potential economic benefit" stated ACVF president and co-founder Tom Carter "ACVF's principled boycotts should reflect concerns within the conservative community. Using migrants to replace American jobs gives the stream of illegal workers reason to keep crossing our open border. Securing the boarder should be America's number one priority. "
"It's a moral imperative to stop and roll back the left's takeover of corporate America," stated Flaig. "Giving conservative investors the power to fight back is why we built ACVF."
"We must hold companies accountable for their actions. We need to vote with our wallets and deny them access to the capital they need. ACVF is currently refusing to invest in 36 such companies," stated Carter. "I'm proud to offer an alternative to the S&P 500*, which currently keeps 25 cents of every invested dollar from these companies."
Tom Carter reiterated, "we do not want to give the companies that are eagerly working to destroy conservative values our hard-earned investment dollars, and neither should you. Companies like Walt Disney, Blackrock, Google, Amazon, and others."

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.
