About this ETF
The Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF (CTA) aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation. It does this by systematically investing in futures contracts, with the objective of generating an absolute return profile. This strategy is designed to have a low correlation to traditional equity markets, offering potential resilience and support during periods of market downturns or 'risk-off' events. The ETF accomplishes these goals by deploying a comprehensive suite of systematic models, which were crafted by Altis Partners, a highly experienced commodity trading advisor boasting over two decades of expertise in the field.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
