New Fund will seek to leverage the growth opportunities of thematic ETFs with a systematic sell discipline.
Toronto, October 4, 2023 – Purpose Investments Inc. (“Purpose Investments”) has filed and been receipted for a preliminary prospectus by the Canadian securities regulators in connection with the proposed launch of the Purpose Tactical Thematic Fund (the “Fund”), a first-of-its-kind tactical thematic equity fund using an emotionless, rules-based process.
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in thematic ETFs that are listed on North American exchanges. Using a proprietary, quantitatively-driven process for its allocation decisions, the Fund will target growth-oriented thematic ETFs positioned to benefit from shifts in technology, society, the environment, and demographics.
The Purpose Tactical Thematic Fund will provide investors with access to high-flying growth opportunities in cutting-edge fields like renewable energy, biotechnology, and AI, tailored to long-term portfolio holding that capitalizes on market momentum. Solving for investors holding onto a thematic investment longer than they should, the Fund will employ systematic momentum indicators – including technical market trends, emphasizing relative strength and momentum – to tactically execute a sell discipline that ensures investments are made and sold strategically.
