Harbor Capital Advisors expands ETF suite with All-Weather Inflation Focus Strategy

Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (“Harbor Capital”) today announced that it is adding to its exchange-traded fund (ETF) lineup bringing a new fully transparent Harbor All-Weather Inflation Focus strategy (HGER) to market early February, upon completion of the registration process. This offering is in addition to the two fixed-income ETFs (SIFI, SIHY) that were launched this fall and the Disruptive Innovation ETF (INNO) launching in December. Along with ETFs, Harbor Capital also offers a curated experience of mutual funds and collective investment trusts.

Harbor All-Weather Inflation Focus ETF – The Fund will seek to track the performance of the Quantix Inflation Index (the “Index”) before fees and expenses. The Index was developed by Quantix Commodities LP, also the Fund’s subadviser.

“We are delighted to add to our growing ETF lineup by launching the All-Weather Inflation Focus ETF, providing clients with a very timely and we feel much needed strategy,” said Kristof Gleich, President & CIO. “We are thrilled to partner with Don Casturo and his team at Quantix. Their background and many decades of experience investing and trading in the commodity complex at Goldman Sachs leads us to believe they are well positioned to both design and deliver a compelling inflation hedge strategy. We look forward to them helping our clients navigate through an increasingly complicated inflationary dynamic.”

Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. The ETF is new and has limited operating history to judge.

There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved. Stock markets are volatile and equity values can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic conditions. A non-diversified Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer, and/or invest in a relatively small number of issuers, it is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio.

Commodity Risk: The Fund has exposure to commodities through its and/or the Subsidiary’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments. Authorized Participant Concentration/Trading Risk: Only authorized participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. Commodity-Linked Derivatives Risk: The Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments (either directly or through the Subsidiary) and the tracking of an Index comprised of commodity futures may subject the Fund to significantly greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
