C000272850 Investment Objective and Strategy
Simplify Tax Aware Alternatives ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Simplify Exchange Traded Funds.
Investment objective
Investment Objective: The Simplify Tax Aware Alternatives ETF (the “Fund” or “LQ”) seeks capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment object by employing an alternatives investment approach. Alternatives in the Fund’s name refers to asset classes other than traditional domestic stocks and bonds, such as those commonly used in balanced fund strategies. These alternative assets are expected to have relatively low return correlations to domestic stocks (as represented by the S&P 500 Index) and domestic bonds (as represented by the Bloomberg Aggregate Index). The Fund’s primary alternative asset classes are domestic and foreign: (i) commodities; (ii) currencies; (iii) real estate related securities; (iv) derivatives (a) options, (b) futures contracts, (c) forward contracts, and (d) swaps; (v) privately offered debt instruments, (vi) funds such as ETFs that employ specialized strategies such as option writing or macro strategies.
The Fund uses options, forward contracts, futures, and swaps, as substitutes for reference asset classes when the adviser believes they offer higher expected returns than a direct investment. Commodities are those in the energy, metal, and agricultural sectors and are accessed through futures contracts and swaps linked to commodity-focused ETFs. Certain countries are considered emerging markets. The Fund considers an emerging market country to include any country that is (i) generally recognized to be an emerging market country by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (commonly known as “the World Bank”); (ii) classified by the United Nations as a developing country; or (iii) included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Certain lower rated debt instruments are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” The Fund defines junk bonds as those rated below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service or below BBB- by Standard and Poor’s Rating Group, or, if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of similar credit quality.
