NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The RBB Fund Complex (“RBB”), a pioneer of the independent series trust, is pleased to announce the launch of the SGI Enhanced NASDAQ-100® ETF (NASDAQ: QXQ)*, a new series of RBB advised by Summit Global Investments, LLC (“SGI”). SGI is a $2 billion boutique investment advisor located in Bountiful, UT.
QXQ marks the third ETF launched in RBB as a part of SGI’s “X-Series”, a suite of ETFs designed to generate current income around specific asset exposures. The other two ETFs in the X-Series, the SGI Enhanced Global Income ETF (NASDAQ: GINX) and the SGI Enhanced Core ETF (NASDAQ: USDX), were each launched earlier this year, and collectively comprise over $150 million.
“We very much enjoy working with Summit Global, helping them navigate and transition into the ETF space over the last year,” said Steven Plump, President of RBB. “Becoming a leader within the ETF market has been a focus of ours, which has fueled our growth, reducing expenses for shareholders and advisers, consistent with RBB’s mission.”
QXQ is the 25th ETF operating within RBB, bringing the total ETF assets overseen by RBB to more than $7.3 Billion. With plans for more ETF launches later this year, ETFs now make up over 25% of the total assets overseen by RBB, up from just 2% in March 2020. The X-Series marks the latest example of RBB’s ability to support innovative trends occurring within the ETF market, including, but not limited to the following:
- Efforts to obtain mutual fund share class exemptive relief for an existing ETF;
- Mutual fund to ETF conversions;
- In-kind contributions from Separately Managed Accounts under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and
- Semi-transparent ETF structures (e.g., Blue Tractor; NYSE Models).
“At RBB, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the trends, servicing the demands of the marketplace and our clients,” added Plump. “We’re excited about what’s coming over the next few quarters at RBB. The future of ETF development is bright, and we are happy to play our part in it.”
