Luma Financial Technologies Adds First and Only ETFs to Its Platform with ProShares

ACSP, ACQQ and ACRT offer Luma advisors liquid, single-ticker access to autocallable strategies

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Luma Financial Technologies ("Luma"), a global, independent, multi-issuer technology platform for structured products and insured solutions, today announced that ProShares, a premier provider of ETFs, has made its Autocallable Income ETF suite available on the Luma platform. Luma’s RIA community will now have access to the platform’s first and only ETFs, providing a liquid, single-ticker solution for accessing autocallable strategies.

Through Luma, advisors and home offices can evaluate ProShares’ Autocallable Income ETFs alongside autocallable notes and other income-oriented solutions within the same platform. The integration is designed to make it easier to compare strategies across different product structures and wrappers, assess their role within client portfolios, and manage those investments through a more consistent workflow.

As demand for autocallable strategies grows among clients seeking high income, the addition of ProShares’ suite gives Luma advisors a new way to access these income solutions. As the only ETFs available on Luma, the funds complement the platform’s growing range of autocallable notes and other income-oriented solutions.

"Advisors are increasingly encountering different products and wrappers designed to address the same fundamental client needs, including market participation, income and downside mitigation," said Tim Bonacci, President and CEO of Luma Financial Technologies. "That makes consistent comparison and ongoing oversight increasingly important. Adding ProShares' Autocallable Income ETFs expands the range of income-oriented strategies advisors and home offices can evaluate through Luma while keeping those decisions within a more connected investment workflow."

The suite includes the ProShares S&P 500 Autocallable Income ETF (ACSP), ProShares Nasdaq-100 Autocallable Income ETF (ACQQ), and ProShares Russell 2000 Autocallable Income ETF (ACRT), offering investors a simpler way to access autocallable strategies with the liquidity, transparency, and convenience of an ETF.

“We’re excited to work with Luma to expand access to autocallable strategies across its RIA community,” said Mo Haghbin, Head of Strategic Products at ProShares. “Autocallable strategies have traditionally been accessed through individual notes, making them cumbersome for many investors to purchase and manage. Our Autocallable Income ETFs are designed to offer the attractive income potential of a diversified autocallable notes strategy with liquid, single-ticker access.”

The addition also reflects Luma’s broader effort to help advisors evaluate investment strategies based on client objectives rather than product categories alone. By bringing ETFs onto the platform alongside structured products, Luma is expanding the range of wrappers advisors can consider when seeking income and defined investment outcomes.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Funds should not be expected to perform like an investment in the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 Indexes. There is no guarantee each Fund will achieve its investment objective or make monthly distributions.

Each Fund seeks to track an index designed to replicate a laddered autocallable note strategy. An autocallable note is a structured debt instrument that pays regular income and returns principal at maturity unless the underlying equity instrument declines beyond a specified barrier. The Funds do not invest directly in autocallable notes. Instead, each Fund obtains exposure primarily through swap agreements that track an index of equivalent autocallable notes. In exchange for the potential to generate high income, investors retain downside market risk, and the Funds may lose money even if the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 Indexes rise. In addition, the embedded features of autocallable notes (e.g., barrier, non-call period, and autocall level) limit their potential to appreciate in value. If an autocall feature is triggered, the applicable note is redeemed early and the strategy will forego any future coupon payments and appreciation associated with that note.

If a Fund’s underlying index closes below its 35% barrier at an autocallable’s maturity, its principal is fully exposed to the underlying index’s losses. For example, if the underlying index has declined 45% at maturity, the autocallable would lose 45% of its value. Each Fund may experience substantial losses even if none of the underlying autocallable notes have breached their barriers. Each Fund’s underlying index targets an annualized volatility level of 35% and may obtain leveraged exposure of up to 500% to the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, or Russell 2000 when volatility is low. Leverage increases volatility and the risk of substantial loss, and the costs of obtaining leverage will reduce returns.

Each Fund intends to make monthly distributions that generally reflect the income generated by the index, net of expenses. Distributions are not guaranteed, may vary significantly and may consist of ordinary income, return of capital or both. Because distributions reduce the Fund’s NAV, repeated distributions, particularly when they exceed the Fund’s gains, may materially erode the Fund’s NAV, trading price and an investor’s principal over time. A return of capital generally reduces a shareholder’s tax basis and may result in a higher taxable gain or lower taxable loss when shares are sold.

These ProShares ETFs are non-diversified and subject to risks associated with autocallable strategies, derivatives (including swap agreements), barrier risk, counterparty risk, investments in information technology companies, investments in small companies, imperfect benchmark correlation, leverage, market price variance, and new fund risk. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of risks.

Shares of any ETF are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
