Like all investors, those who are focused on sustainability are looking for ways to hedge inflation and deliver long-term value in today's economy.

Enter Newday Impact Investing, which launched the OCEAN HEALTH ETF (SYMBOL AHOY, $20) in June. The ETF will invest at least 80% of its assets in firms that further ocean health.
