Insights

Market Research Analyst

The introduction of the Strive Mid-Cap ETF (STXM) by Strive Asset Management is a strategic move to capture a segment of the market that can offer diversified growth potential. Mid-cap companies, typically valued between $2 billion and $10 billion, are often in a 'sweet spot' of growth, being more established than small caps but more agile than large caps. This new offering could attract investors looking for a balance of stability and growth potential.

Furthermore, the consolidation of Strive's ETFs on the NYSE floor earlier this year can be seen as an endeavor to enhance liquidity and tighten bid/ask spreads, which is favorable for investors. The Strive Pooled Employer Plan (Strive PEP) and tax-loss harvesting SMAs indicate a broadening of services, which may increase Strive's competitive edge in the asset management industry.

Financial Analyst

Strive's proxy voting and shareholder engagement strategy is significant to investors who are increasingly concerned with corporate governance. By advocating for companies to prioritize maximizing shareholder value, Strive is positioning itself as a proactive player in influencing company policies. This could potentially lead to better performance of the companies within the STXM fund, thereby enhancing investor returns.

Investors should monitor the performance of STXM in comparison to other mid-cap funds and the broader market to evaluate the effectiveness of Strive's engagement approach. The company's expansion plans and the success of its 2023 strategies will be critical in assessing Strive's future growth trajectory and its impact on shareholder value.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Strive Asset Management ("Strive"), a leading provider of shareholder-focused investment solutions, announced the launch of its twelfth fund, the Strive Mid-Cap ETF (NYSE: STXM), which offers Strive investors access to the middle 400 corporations by market cap of the Bloomberg US 1500 Index.

STXM joins the Strive 500 ETF (STRV) and Strive Small-Cap ETF (STXK) to complete the company's market cap series and provide investors access to the entire Bloomberg US 1500 Index. STXM will also deliver to investors Strive's proxy voting and shareholder engagement, which aims to unlock value for investors by advocating that companies focus on maximizing value over all other considerations.

"Like all our products, Strive's new mid-cap fund, STXM, is strictly focused on maximizing shareholder value," said Matt Cole, Strive CEO and CIO. "This is an exciting time at Strive. We look forward to building on our successes from 2023 with a major expansion announcement in the coming months, which serves as a testament to the extraordinary demand for pro-capitalism and pro-meritocracy financial services."
