NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PureFunds® is proud to announce that the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETFTM (HACK), has surpassed the $100,000,000 mark for assets under management (AUM) in just its first 6 weeks since inception (11/12/2014).

Andrew Chanin, CEO of PureFunds said, "We are thankful for the strong demand HACK has experienced and hope many additional investors will come to appreciate the unique focus our ETF provides. We believe HACK targets one of the essential global industries at a critical time and are thrilled that many investors are in agreement with this belief. Despite the typically low volume holiday season, we have been impressed by the daily volume HACK has maintained. As the sponsor of HACK, PureFunds looks forward to creating many more significant ETFs to add to the PureFunds' suite of products.”
Kris Monaco, Head of ISE ETF Ventures said, “The strength of ISE ETF Ventures’ partnership with PureFunds has continued to strengthen with the success of the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. The fund may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The Funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect from loss in a declining market. Investments in smaller companies tend to have limited and greater price volatility that larger-capitalization companies. Several foreign countries have begun a process of privatizing certain entities and industries, which may lose money or be nationalized. The Fund invests in some economies that are heavily dependent upon trading with key partners. Any reduction in this trading may cause an adverse impact on the economy in which the Fund invests.
The ISE Cyber SecurityTM Index (ticker: HXR) provides investors with a product allowing them to quickly take advantage of both event-driven news and long term economic trends as the market for cyber security technology continues to evolve. It is not possible to directly invest in an index.
