Tema Launches International Durable Quality ETF (ITOL)

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tema ETFs (“Tema”), the New York-based provider of innovative exchange traded funds (ETFs), today announced the launch of the Tema International Durable Quality ETF. ITOL focuses on international durable and dominant quality companies with tangible moats. ITOL is the second product in Tema’s durable quality line-up following the successful launch of the Tema Durable Quality ETF (TOLL) in 2023.

International investing exposes investors to compelling opportunities yet also a myriad of risks which can potentially be harnessed and managed through a quality approach to international equities. The ITOL investment approach focuses on durability and tangibility of quality exposure by investing in dominant companies across sectors including financial services, infrastructure, healthcare and manufacturing.

“The International Durable Quality ETF is designed to provide investors quality exposure to compelling international opportunities at a time when non-US companies are historically undervalued relative to U.S ones. We believe a quality framework is a prerequisite to international investing, and ITOL leverages the quality investment framework tested by the TOLL ETF,” said Yuri Khodjamirian, the Chief Investment Officer of Tema ETFs and co-portfolio manager of the International Durable Quality ETF (ITOL).

ITOL will carry an expense ratio of 0.60% and is actively managed by an experienced investment team who have covered these companies for a combined 30 years.

Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Important Risks: Diversification does not ensure profits or prevent losses.

Sector Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors, including Engineering and Construction, Medical Products and Devices, and Pharmaceuticals, and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors than funds that have more diversified holdings across several sectors.

The success of the Fund’s investment strategy depends in part on the ability of the companies in which it invests to maintain proprietary technology used in their products and services. Companies in which the Fund invests will rely, in part, on patent, trade secret and trademark law to protect that technology, but competitors may misappropriate their intellectual property, and disputes as to ownership of intellectual property may arise.

Similarly, if a company is found to infringe upon or misappropriate a third-party’s patent or other proprietary rights, that company could be required to pay damages to such third-party, alter its own products or processes, obtain a license from the third-party and/or cease activities utilizing such proprietary rights, including making or selling products utilizing such proprietary rights. These disputes and litigations may be detrimental to performance.

Investing in Foreign and emerging markets involves risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments. In addition, the fund is exposed to currency risk.
