“Our performance validates our core thesis – you don’t have to sacrifice returns to invest in your values,” states ACVF CEO and co-founder William Flaig. “By strategically boycotting 37 companies that represent 29% of the S&P 500, we’re giving conservative investors a powerful way to advocate with their dollars.”
“We’re fighting back against the wasteful misuse of shareholder capital by woke corporate America,” explains Tom Carter, ACVF’s president and co-founder. “Our performance proves that avoiding politically active companies isn’t just about values – it’s about protecting shareholder value.”

“It’s a moral imperative to stop and roll back the left’s takeover of corporate America,” states ACVF CEO and co-founder William Flaig. Adding, “Giving conservative investors the power to fight back and invest with integrity is why we built ACVF.”
ACVF’s approach targets corporations undermining conservative values through:
- Big Tech and Banking elites silencing conservative voices and services
- Corporate “woke-ism” prioritizing DEI and Net Zero over shareholder returns
- Media companies spewing liberal propaganda
- CEOs pushing their political agendas and bankrolling socialist causes.
- Companies undermining religious freedom, Second Amendment rights, and the sanctity of life.
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, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount and others.”
“Conservative investors are increasingly asking why they should invest in companies actively working against their values,” notes Flaig. “ACVF offers them a genuine alternative – professional management that aligns with their principles while delivering competitive returns.”
ACVF, launched in October 2020, aims to provide investors with an alternative to traditional large-cap funds by avoiding companies that, in the view of its’ managers, The 37 companies that ACVF currently excludes from the portfolio represent 29% of the S&P 500.

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.
