MAGA offers a unique twist to principles-based investing by screening the components of the S&P 500 Index for companies whose political campaign contributions (from employees and political action committees) meet a minimum threshold over the previous four years, according to data from the Federal Election Commission. Eligible companies are then ranked by a proprietary process based primarily on the total net dollars and the net percentage of dollars given to Republican Party candidates versus Democratic Party candidates for the same offices. The top 150 companies are included in the index. The index is equally weighted and rebalanced quarterly. Before June 17, 2022, the fund and index were named Point Bridge GOP Stock Tracker ETF and Point Bridge GOP Stock Tracker Index, respectively.
