Justice Company, HANetf Launch JURY High-Dividend ETF

HANetf and The Justice Company launched JURY (ticker: JURY), a developed-market high-dividend UCITS ETF that excludes companies implicated in genocide, war crimes and other serious human-rights violations.

The fund is structured as a diversified, income-focused global equity strategy targeting developed-market large- and mid-cap stocks. It aims for a higher dividend yield than broader equity benchmarks and is designed to provide liquid, transparent and scalable exposure for a core portfolio allocation.

JURY applies a rules-based exclusion framework. It removes companies materially involved in genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, apartheid, serious occupation-related human-rights abuses and other violations of international humanitarian law. Independent research firm Ethical Screening applies the ETF’s exclusions using thresholds grounded in the Geneva Conventions, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and OECD guidelines.

The fund’s total expense ratio is 0.6 percent. Ten percent of that fee will be allocated to a humanitarian foundation set up by The Justice Company to support communities affected by conflict, displacement and systemic oppression. The foundation will fund programs including scholarships for students whose education has been disrupted by conflict and human-rights abuses.

HANetf is acting as the ETF issuer and distribution partner on behalf of The Justice Company. JURY is classified as Article 8 under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.

Mike Head, senior adviser at The Justice Company, described the market gap the ETF targets: ‘What we could not find in the market was a professional, rules-based investment platform that treats certain violations as genuinely non-negotiable while still meeting institutional standards of diversification, transparency and performance. The ETF was created to close that gap.’

Hector McNeil, co-founder and co-CEO of HANetf, noted the partnership provides investors access to high-dividend equities without compromising principles and that HANetf intends to continue offering distinctive strategies in Europe and beyond.
