Aristotle Funds Series Trust and Aristotle Pacific Capital, LLC today announced the launch of their first exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking the firm’s entry into the ETF space. The launch expands Aristotle Funds’ investment platform, providing investors with an additional vehicle to access the firm’s actively managed fixed income capabilities.

Beginning trading today are the:

  • Aristotle Core Plus Income ETF (ARCP), a relative-value, income-oriented strategy that seeks to provide excess return versus core bonds with minimal added volatility;

  • Aristotle Multi-Sector Income ETF (ARMS), which employs a flexible relative-value income-oriented approach to investing across the credit landscape, seeking a high level of current income by investing across investment-grade credit, high-yield credit and floating-rate loans; and

  • Aristotle Short Term Income ETF (SDUR), which also follows Aristotle Pacific Capital’s relative-value, income-oriented approach in investing across a broad range of primarily investment-grade short-duration fixed income securities, seeking current income alongside reduced rate exposure versus core bonds.

Each of these new ETFs is actively managed by the team at Aristotle Pacific Capital and is built around a proprietary approach that emphasizes bottom-up credit research combined with top-down portfolio positioning.

“This is an exciting day for all of us at Aristotle as we enter the ETF market,” said Dominic Nolan, Chief Executive Officer of Aristotle Pacific Capital. “These ETF offerings are built on the expertise of our portfolio management team and rooted in our disciplined investment philosophy.”

“Advisors and investors need the right tools to build tactical income portfolios that are designed to navigate today’s markets,” added Jeff Klingelhofer, CFA, Managing Director with Aristotle Pacific Capital and co-Portfolio Manager for all three of these new ETFs. “Simply relying on decades-old, siloed approaches may leave investors underexposed to key corners of the income landscape and missing attractive opportunities. Our relative-value process differentiates us by identifying opportunities across sectors through rigorous bottom-up credit research and disciplined relative-value analysis. We believe these ETFs provide investors and advisors with a differentiated way to access our fixed income capabilities through a flexible, actively managed ETF.”

All three ETFs are listed on the NYSE Arca, Inc.

Principal Risks

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. All three ETFs are subject to liquidity risk (the risk that an investment may be difficult to purchase, value, or sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or restrictions on resale), credit risk (the risk that an issuer may be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, resulting in default), and foreign-markets risk. Investments in high-yield/high-risk bonds (“junk bonds”) and floating-rate loans (typically rated below investment grade) involve greater credit and default risk than higher-rated securities and may offer higher yields in exchange for increased risk.

Additional Risk – Aristotle Multi-Sector Income ETF: Because the Fund may invest significantly in below-investment-grade securities and floating-rate loans, it may be subject to greater credit, liquidity, and default risk than funds that invest primarily in investment-grade securities.

Investors should consider a fund’s investment goal, risk, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the fund and can be obtained at www.aristotlefunds.com. It should be read carefully before investing.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses of the fund carefully. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a fund will be achieved. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV per share. Because ETF shares are traded in the secondary market, a broker may charge a commission to execute transactions in the shares, and an investor may incur the cost of the spread between the price at which a dealer will buy shares and the price at which a dealer will sell shares.

Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Total Returns are calculated using the daily 4:00pm net asset value (NAV). Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times
