SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Day Hagan/Ned Davis Research Smart Sector® Fixed Income ETF (NYSE: SSFI) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on September 29, 2021.

Day Hagan Asset Management (Day Hagan) in partnership with Ned Davis Research (NDR), a global provider of independent investment research insights, tools and solutions, announced the launch of a co-developed ETF, Smart Sector® Fixed Income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by principally investing in unaffiliated fixed income exchange traded funds that invest in nine fixed income categories. The Fund utilizes the NDR Fixed Income Model to determine its allocation to each Category.

"We are very excited and proud to launch another ETF with Day Hagan," said Brian Sanborn, Senior Vice President of Wealth Management Solutions at NDR. "The SSFI ETF applies NDR's 360^o approach of combining macro, fundamental, technical, and behavioral data with the goal of delivering excess returns, while protecting against catastrophic losses. We believe that this strategy will help investors tactically navigate the fixed income market and is a great complement to the SSUS ETF for U.S. asset allocation decisions."

Investing in securities is subject to market risk including the possible loss of principal. As an ETF, the fund may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. The Fund is new with a limited operating history.

Some specific fund risks:  The value of fixed income securities 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.

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will fail to pay principal and interest in a timely manner, reducing the Fund's total return. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. Emerging market economies may be based on only a few industries and security issuers may be more susceptible to economic weakness and more likely to default. 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.

Smart Sector® ETF products are subject to sector risks and non-diversification risks, which may result in performance fluctuations that are more extreme than fluctuations in the overall stock market.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Day Hagan/Ned Davis Research Smart Sector® Fixed Income ETF.
