Should JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. ETF (TOV) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
The JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. ETF (TOV - Free Report) was launched on February 26, 2025, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by Jlens Invest Jewishly. It has amassed assets over $259.43 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Blend
Large cap companies typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.
Blend ETFs usually hold a mix of growth and value stocks as well as stocks that exhibit both value and growth characteristics.
Costs
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.18%, making it one of the cheaper products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.84%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
ETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Information Technology sector -- about 37.3% of the portfolio. Financials and Telecom round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Nvidia Corp (NVDA) accounts for about 7.45% of total assets, followed by Apple Inc (AAPL) and Alphabet Inc (GOOGL).
The top 10 holdings account for about 37.13% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
TOV seeks to match the performance of the JLENS 500 JEWISH ADVOCACY U.S. INDEX before fees and expenses. The JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. Index seeks to provide exposure to large cap U.S. equity securities included in the VettaFi US Equity Large-Cap 500 Index while maintaining alignment with JLens Jewish value pillars.
The ETF return is roughly 8.19% so far this year and it's up approximately 20.83% in the last one year (as of 06/29/2026). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $26.03 and $32.04.
The ETF has a beta of 1.03 and standard deviation of 17.48% for the trailing three-year period. With about 498 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
JLens 500 Jewish Advocacy U.S. ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, TOV is a sufficient option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Blend area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.
The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and the Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF Shares (VOO) track a similar index. While iShares Core S&P 500 ETF has $825.57 billion in assets, Vanguard 500 Index Fund ETF Shares has $964.82 billion. IVV has an expense ratio of 0.03% and VOO charges 0.03%.
Bottom-Line
An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
