NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fundstrat Capital's Granny Shots U.S. Large-Cap ETF (NYSE: GRNY) has surpassed $3 billion in assets under management (AUM), topping this milestone on Oct. 2, 2025, less than a year after its November 2024 inception. With this accomplishment, GRNY extends its status as one of the fastest growing ETFs in history from a new issuer.¹

As of market close on Oct. 2, 2025, Fundstrat's actively managed ETF was up 26.54% year-to-date, compared with a 15.30% gain in the benchmark S&P 500 Total Return Index — an outperformance of 1,124 basis points. Since its inception on Nov. 7, 2024, the Fund has gained 26.29% versus 14.65% for the benchmark, outperforming by 1,163 basis points.²

"We have received an overwhelmingly positive response to our Granny Shots ETF, reflecting both the solid performance of the Fund and the understandable thematic-focused rationale, and the continuous communication our team provides via our videos and newsletters," said Thomas "Tom" Lee, Chief Investment Officer & Lead Portfolio Manager at Fundstrat Capital.  "The success of this ETF is a team effort." 

It's a particularly gratifying moment for Fundstrat Capital Portfolio Manager Ken Xuan, who said, "The speed with which GRNY has accumulated assets is just another validation for us that investors care about a multi-thematic investment approach."

John Bai, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Fundstrat, summed up the firm's reaction: "It's thrilling to see the success of GRNY, especially as we celebrate Fundstrat's 11-year anniversary. We always want to provide clients with a product that reflects our core beliefs, and Granny Shots embodies that mission. We're grateful that investors are engaging with our research and our approach to navigating this market environment."

GRNY ("Granny Shots") seeks to own the highest-quality stocks in the S&P 500—typically around 35 names—by identifying the most important thematic arcs over the next 5-10 years and then buys the strongest and highest quality stocks anchored to at least 2 of those themes. These multiple key themes include global labor shortage, cyber and energy security, millennials, monetary policy cycles and are anchored by Fundstrat's research-driven framework.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return, and/or ability to meet its investment objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Information About the Fund-Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund."

Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers.

Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Fund's portfolio is heavily dependent on investment models developed by the Sub-Adviser as well as information and data supplied by third parties ("Models and Data"). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities from the Fund's portfolio that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete.

Operational Risk. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors of the Fund's service providers, counter parties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
