Friends of SFOF Sponsors Level
About
2ndVote Advisers (2VA) is an investment firm offering ETFs, indexes, and separately managed accounts to “high net worth and institutional investors.” Although it claims “to take the politics out of investing,” 2VA relies on a research group to “weed out companies that advocate for progressive agendas” and will not support any that make use of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment criteria. 2VA’s research subsidiary performs social/political audits on companies that are part of the S&P 1500.
Alongside the National Center for Public Policy Research‘s Free Enterprise Project and Job Creators Network Foundation, 2VA launched the Boardroom Initiative in April 2022 to “defend shareholders, employees, and communities from “woke” policies at corporations.”
As of September 2022, 2ndVote Advisers is listed as among the friends of SFOF sponsors (the organization no longer lists its donors on its website).
