Yorkville America Launches Next Generation Memory Index ETF (NRAM), Tracking the Infrastructure Behind AI's Growth

NRAM targets the memory and storage layer of the AI buildout through a rules-based index methodology

MOUNTAINSIDE, N.J., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Yorkville America Equities, LLC, an asset management firm and registered investment adviser, announced the launch of the Yorkville America Next Generation Memory Index ETF (Ticker: NRAM) today, September 10, 2026, trading on the NYSE Arca and NYSE Texas.

As artificial intelligence systems scale, demand for memory and storage infrastructure may increase. NRAM is a passively managed ETF that tracks the YA MarketVector™ Next Generation Memory Index (MVRAM), a rules-based index designed to measure the performance of companies whose principal business activities are associated with the memory and storage layer of the AI economy — not a bet on which single chipmaker wins.

"AI's next leap depends on infrastructure most people don't think about — memory. Every computing cycle eventually reveals where the real constraint sits, and this one runs into storage and memory capacity before it runs into anything else. NRAM provides exposure for investors who want direct exposure to companies involved in the design, development, manufacture and supply of physical memory technologies." — Steve Neamtz, CEO, Yorkville America.

The YA MarketVector™ Next Generation Memory Index (MVRAM) is a thematic index designed to track companies involved in the design, development, manufacture, and supply of physical memory technologies. The index targets 20 constituents and is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly. Constituents are weighted using a modified float-adjusted market capitalization approach, with dedicated memory companies capped at 15% and diversified memory companies capped at 4.5%. Investors cannot directly invest in an index and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.

Disclosures

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The prospectus and other applicable regulatory offering documents related to the Yorkville America Next Generation Memory Index ETF contain this and other relevant information about the ETF. For a free prospectus or a summary prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the fund, visit www.yadigitaletfs.com or call (201) 985-8300. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Universal Memory Ecosystem Risk. The Fund's investments are focused on companies that the Adviser believes are connected to the development, commercialization, manufacture, deployment, or adoption of advanced memory technologies and related infrastructure. As a result, the Fund's performance may be significantly affected by developments impacting the semiconductor and memory technology industries. Companies involved in advanced memory technologies may face intense competition, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, intellectual property disputes, supply chain disruptions, regulatory challenges, and changing customer demand. Many emerging memory technologies are still developing and may not achieve commercial success, widespread adoption, or expected levels of market acceptance. If advanced memory technologies fail to develop as anticipated, are replaced by competing technologies, or experience slower-than-expected adoption, companies in which the Fund invests may be adversely affected. Because the Fund's investments may be concentrated in a relatively narrow segment of the technology market, the Fund may experience greater volatility and be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, industry, or technological events than a fund with broader investment exposure.

New Adviser Risk. The Adviser is a recently formed investment adviser and has not previously served as an adviser to an exchange-traded fund. Although the Adviser's principals, affiliates, and the Fund's portfolio managers have substantial experience managing pooled investment vehicles and implementing comparable investment processes, the Adviser is a new entity with limited operating history, which may create risks. As a newly established adviser, the Adviser may have limited resources, personnel, or operational infrastructure relative to more established firms, which could adversely affect its ability to implement the Fund's investment strategy, monitor counterparties and service providers, or respond effectively to market, operational, or regulatory challenges. There can be no assurance that the Adviser's systems, policies, procedures, or internal controls will operate as intended in the ETF context, or that the Adviser will successfully manage the Fund in all market conditions. The Fund may be negatively impacted if the Adviser is unable to scale its operations, retain key personnel, or develop and maintain the capabilities necessary to support the Fund's ongoing activities.

New Fund Risk. The Fund has no operating history and currently has fewer assets than larger funds. Like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund's market exposure for limited periods of time. This impact may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of market movement during the period affected.

An investment in ETFs involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemable directly with the ETFs. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. ETFs are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying strategy of the ETF, which should be considered carefully when making investment decisions. For a complete description of the ETF's principal investment risks, please refer to the prospectus.
