Strive Launches U.S. Energy Index Fund (DRLL) to Deliver a New Shareholder Mandate to U.S. Energy Companies

Strive will mandate U.S. energy companies to reject shortsighted political agendas and to focus on long-term profitability, including through increased investment in oil and gas production

Strive unveiled model shareholder resolutions for the U.S. energy sector at the 2022 EnerCom Conference

Strive Asset Management (“Strive”) launches its flagship index fund, the Strive U.S. Energy ETF (NYSE: $DRLL), to unlock the potential of the U.S. energy sector by providing investors an opportunity to drive positive change at U.S. energy companies ahead of a potential bull market for U.S. energy stocks.

U.S. energy companies have been underinvesting in oil and gas production, due in part to the Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) mandates imposed by large asset managers, which advance their favored agendas over the financial interests of all shareholders. As a result, U.S. energy companies are unable to adequately address the current energy crisis.

Strive believes that U.S. energy companies should capture the immense economic opportunity to meet global energy demands by producing more oil, gas, and other forms of energy while abandoning ESG-imposed constraints on the sector. Strive intends to use its shareholder engagement and proxy voting power to unlock the potential of the U.S. energy sector by delivering this “post-ESG” mandate to U.S. energy companies – rejecting shortsighted political agendas that have caused companies to underinvest in American oil, natural gas, and other promising forms of energy.

Strive expects U.S. energy stocks to appreciate multi-fold over the next 18-24 months, with the easing of lockdown policies in China and elsewhere, as well as supply shortages created by the EU ban on Russian oil expected to go into effect in December 2022, causing a dramatic supply-demand imbalance in global energy markets. Strive believes U.S. energy companies are poised to capitalize on this opportunity if they are unshackled from constraints imposed by ESG-linked asset managers.

As recently as 2013, the largest company in the world by market capitalization was Exxon, a U.S. energy company. Today, four of the five largest companies in the world are U.S. technology companies and the fifth is Saudi Aramco. Strive believes these recent trends can change to favor U.S. energy stocks again if investors support long-term investment in oil, gas, coal, and alternative energy projects that maximize shareholder value rather than advance political goals.

Strive’s co-founder and executive chairman, Vivek Ramaswamy, unveiled model shareholder resolutions for the U.S. energy sector yesterday at the 2022 EnerCom conference, one of the nation’s leading energy investment conferences.

“The largest U.S. asset managers have shackled U.S. energy companies with so-called ‘Scope 3 emissions caps’ and other destructive mandates that contributed to the American energy crisis today,” said Vivek Ramaswamy, executive chairman and co-founder of Strive Asset Management. “The right answer isn’t to complain about it, but to solve the problem. We’re proud to offer investors a new choice to align their voice and vote with how U.S. energy companies behave – by helping maximize long-run profits over short-run social fads.”

The Strive U.S. Energy ETF ($DRLL) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of a subset of the Solactive GBS United States 1000 Index (the “Index”) composed of U.S.-listed equities in the energy sector. The Solactive index exhibits 99.7% historical correlation1 with BlackRock’s U.S. Energy Index. The Index is represented by securities of companies in the energy industry or sector (oil, coal, and natural gas companies, as well as companies that produce renewable or alternative energy such as hydrogen, nuclear, solar, and wind power).
