A Milestone of Success

Thank You for Your Trust and Partnership

Dear Friends,

We are writing to share some exciting news and to express our sincere gratitude for your continued trust and partnership.

With our sub-advisory partnership with ALPS Advisors, the ALPS | Smith Core Plus Bond ETF, launched this past December, has recently surpassed a significant milestone of $1 billion in assets under management (AUM).

We are also excited to share that, thanks to your confidence in our team and belief in our vision, the total assets under management have crossed a significant milestone, over $5 billion. For more details on the AUM milestone update <<CLICK HERE>>.

This growth underscores the confidence that you and other investors have placed in this offering, and we couldn’t be more appreciative.

We look forward to continuing this journey of success together. As always, we are committed to providing the expertise and partnership needed to help navigate the ever-changing fixed income landscape, ensuring your investments with us align with your long-term objectives. I share with the team frequently that without you, there is not a reason for the business to exist.

Thank you once again for your trust and for being an integral part of these milestones. We remain committed to a disciplined process and believe strongly that integrity and character are critical elements of our success. We find empathy is the greatest form of genius, strengthening relationships and our culture. We’re honored to serve you and remain dedicated to achieving even greater success in the future.

 

With deepest appreciation and gratitude,

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. As with any investment, there is a risk of loss. Investing in a bond market is subject to risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation, default, and liquidity risk. The bond market is volatile. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates. The return of principal is not guaranteed, and prices may decline if an issuer fails to make timely payments or its credit strength weakens. High yield or “junk” bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility and can experience sudden and sharp price swings.

Please consider the charges, risks, expenses, and investment objectives carefully before investing. Please see a prospectus, or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal and fluctuation of value.

All indices are unmanaged. You cannot invest directly in an index. The index or benchmark performance presented in this document does not reflect the deduction of advisory fees, transaction charges, and other expenses, which would reduce performance.
