Introducing the Simplify Brookwood Global Macro ETF, Offering Flexible Exposure Across Global Markets and Alternative Strategies

New ETF is sub-advised by Brookwood Investment Group, a firm with deep expertise in global macro strategies, and targets absolute returns via both long and short exposures across commodities, real assets, and alternative strategies

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Simplify Asset Management (“Simplify”), a leading provider of Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), today announced the launch of its newest fund: the Simplify Brookwood Global Macro ETF (GMAC).

GMAC is designed to provide investors with access to a flexible global macro strategy that can move across asset classes, take long and short positions, and adapt to changing economic conditions.

Sub-advised by Brookwood Investment Group (“Brookwood”), a nationally recognized RIA firm with years of experience in building and managing global macro strategies, GMAC seeks strong positive returns, regardless of the direction of markets, by identifying opportunities among a range of different asset types. The strategy can invest long or short across commodities, natural resources, energy, metals and mining, agriculture, industrials, utilities, and real estate, as well as managed futures, risk parity, long/short equity, and other alternative strategies.

GMAC will opportunistically invest based on Brookwood’s ongoing analysis of broad economic trends, considering inflation, interest rates, monetary policy, regulatory shifts and the political environment across the globe.

“Global macro investing is about having the flexibility to go where the opportunities exist,” said David Berns, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Simplify. “Brookwood understands that flexibility and has the knowledge and experience to identify those opportunities, and GMAC gives investors a single vehicle that can access a broad range of alternative strategies and asset classes without being tied to the traditional 60/40 portfolio framework. We’re thrilled to be partnering with their team and to be bringing their approach to investors in the ETF wrapper for the first time.”

The ETF will primarily obtain exposure through ETFs, including affiliated ETFs, and swaps based on the returns of various underlying assets. The strategy is well positioned to serve as a foundational building block for a liquid alternatives allocation.

“Today’s markets are being shaped by a wide range of forces from inflation and interest rates to policy changes and shifting global economic conditions,” said Christopher R. Coolidge, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Brookwood Investment Group. “We believe navigating this environment requires the capabilities to look across asset classes for investment opportunities and an active, nimble approach to act when the situation calls for action. We’re very pleased to be working with Simplify in bringing GMAC to market and providing a powerful new tool for investors and advisors.”

DISCLOSURES

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing. To obtain an ETF's prospectus or Summary prospectus containing this and other important information, please call [phone], or visit Simplify.us/etfs. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

An investment in the fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

The Fund is actively-managed and is subject to the risk that the strategy may not produce the intended results. The Fund will also rely on the Futures Adviser’s judgments about the value and potential appreciation of particular securities which if assessed incorrectly could negatively affect the Fund.

The Fund’s use of futures may involve different or greater risks than investing directly in securities and the contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. These risks include leverage risk which means a small percentage of assets invested in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the Fund. This risk could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. Futures contracts may become mispriced or improperly valued when compared to the adviser’s expectation and may not produce the desired investment results. The Fund’s exposure to futures contracts is subject to risks related to rolling. Extended periods of contango or backwardation can cause significant losses for the Fund. Any short sales of the futures contracts by the fund theoretically involves unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase.

Investments linked to commodity or currency futures contracts including exposure to non-U.S. currencies can be highly volatile affected by market movements, changes in interest rates or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. Changes in currency exchange rates can be unpredictable or change quickly which will affect the value of the Fund.

Limited History Risk. The Fund is a new ETF and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because the Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater portion of its assets linked to fewer issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single portfolio asset could cause greater fluctuations in the Fund’s share price than would occur in a diversified fund. Foreign Investment Risk. The Fund may use model portfolios based on securities domiciled in countries outside the U.S. that may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies or government entities. Short Position Risk. If a security sold short or other instrument increases in price, the seller may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. Because losses on short sales arise from increases in the value of the security or other instrument sold short, such losses are theoretically unlimited. Swaps Risk. Leverage inherent in swaps will tend to magnify the Fund’s losses if the reference asset or assets declines in price. These contracts involve exposure to credit risk because contract performance depends, in part, on the financial condition of the counterparty.
