DMCY on the NYSEInvesting in Democracy
The Democracy International Fund ETF (ticker DMCY) is an index strategy that is weighted toward democracies and away from authoritarianism, giving investors international exposure to more democracy and less geopolitical risk.
An Exclusive Partnership
Democracy Investments holds an exclusive license agreement with the publisher of "The Economist," The Economist Group, LTD, for the use of their Democracy Index for financial products globally.
In our view, The Economist’s Democracy Index is the most respected, objective, and transparent measure of democracy in the world.
A Democracy Portfolio Weighting
We use The Economist’s Democracy Index as an overlay to create an index that is the product of both market capitalization and democracy weightings.
- All World Ex US Index
- Starting Universe
- The Economist's Democracy Index
- Exclusive License Overlay
- Democracy Investments International Index®
- New Democracy Weighted Index
Our proprietary methodology results in a new democracy weighted index that aligns the portfolio with country democracy scores, resulting in higher allocations in democratic countries and lower in authoritarian regimes.
Our product enables investing in democracy and values such as freedom of speech, fair elections and human rights, while enjoying similar returns to a typical international equity portfolio.
