Under normal conditions, GABF invests at least 80% in common stocks of financial services companies. Some important trends that ETF focuses on are digitization, the upcoming generational wealth transfer, and the “American Tailwind” of economic growth. By leveraging the Private Market Value with a Catalyst™ methodology, this ETF focuses on companies with durable brands and productive capital allocation poised for success during these trend shifts in the financial services industry.
Investment Objective
GABF’s investment objective is capital appreciation.
Shares of this ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund.
Buying or selling ETF shares may require additional fees such as brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns.
These additional risks may be even greater in challenging or uncertain market conditions.
Why Invest
Deep and Disciplined: The Fund utilizes our Private Market Value with a Catalyst™ approach to determine the price a strategic buyer would be willing to pay for the entire company and potential catalysts, such as buyouts or management changes, that could surface the unlocked value of the company.
Capitalizing on Secular Trends: Over the next 40 years, the greatest wealth transfer – measured in trillions – is expected to occur between baby boomers and millennials producing greater demand for wealth advisory and asset management services.
