New ETF is designed to provide investors with
capital-efficient duration exposure while simultaneously seeking to
amplify yield curve efficiencies in the middle of the curve
Simplify Asset Management (“Simplify”), an innovative provider
of options-based Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”), today announced
the launch of its newest ETF: the Simplify Risk Parity Treasury ETF
(TYA).
TYA is designed to provide significant duration via modest
capital allocation, while simultaneously seeking to harvest yield
curve benefits from the middle of the curve. It does so by
investing in a combination of US Treasuries and US Treasury futures
from the middle of the curve, and targets fund-level duration equal
to that of the ICE 20+ Year US Treasury Index.
“In the current low yield environment, it is more important than
ever to be mindful of how you invest in duration. Capital
efficiency and yield curve efficiency are key to a successful
Treasury investment strategy,” said David Berns, Ph.D., CIO and
Co-Founder with Simplify. “Unfortunately, all too often efficient
Treasury investing requires leverage, which can be a significant
operational and compliance hurdle for most investors and advisors.
That’s an issue we’ve designed TYA to solve, and we’re very excited
to be bringing this new fund to market.”
TYA can help solve for a number of portfolio needs. For some
investors, the fund can be used as a core long duration asset with
the potential for excess carry relative to cash investments in
long-term Treasuries. The fund can also be used as a
capital-efficient replacement for intermediate duration assets, as
investors only need a fraction of the capital required by an
unlevered position. Additionally, with its dual goals of capital
and yield curve efficiency, TYA can be a key building block in more
innovative portfolio systems such as risk parity.
TYA joins a Simplify ETF family that in just over one year, has
already grown to $711 million AUM as of September 9th 2021, as
advisors, family offices, institutions and the retail investor
community have been drawn to the more scientific approach the firm
has pioneered in combining equity index exposures with robust
options overlays. More recently, the firm has also introduced a
number of innovative ETF solutions designed around interest rate
hedging (PFIX), volatility income (SVOL) and equity plus bitcoin
exposure, via GBTC (SPBC).

Investors should carefully consider the investment
objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds
(ETFs) before investing. To obtain an ETF's prospectus containing
this and other important information, please call (855) 772-8488,
or visit SimplifyETFs.com. Please read the prospectus carefully
before you invest. An investment in the fund involves risk,
including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not
guarantee future results.
An investment in the fund involves risk including the possible
loss of principal.
The Simplify Risk Parity Treasury ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to
provide total return, before fees and expenses, that matches or
outperforms the performance of the ICE US Treasury 20+ Year Index
on a calendar quarter basis. The Fund does not seek to achieve its
stated investment objective over a period of time different than a
full calendar quarter. The fund is new and has a limited operating
history to evaluate.
When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of
your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest
rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the
value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund.
The Fund invests in ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and is
therefore subject to the same risks as the underlying securities in
which the ETF invests as well as entails higher expenses than if
invested into the underlying ETF directly.
Derivatives Risk: Options are a derivative investment.
The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or
possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly
in securities and other traditional investments.
Short-term investment Risk: Investors holding shares of
the Fund over longer-term periods may be subject to increased risk
of loss. The Fund is intended to be used only for short-term
investment horizons. An investor in the Fund can lose all or a
substantial portion of his or her investment within a single day.
The longer an investor’s holding period in the Fund, the greater
the potential for loss.
Futures Contract Risk: Futures contracts involve the
following risks (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in
market value of the instruments held by the Fund and the price of
the forward or futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid
secondary market; (c) leverage, which means a small percentage of
assets in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the
Fund and the Fund can lose more than the principal amount invested;
(d) losses are potentially unlimited; and (e) the possibility that
the counterparty will default in the performance of its
obligations.
DEFINITIONS Duration: A measure of the sensitivity of the
price of a bond to a change in interest rates. ICE 20+ Year US
Treasury Index: Common industry benchmark that measures US
dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, nominal debt issued by the US
Treasury with 20+ years to maturity.
Simplify ETFs are distributed by Foreside Financial Services,
LLC.
