Insights
The launch of Atlas America Fund (USAF) represents a significant development in the ETF space, particularly given Nouriel Roubini's reputation and track record in economic forecasting. The fund's strategic focus on real assets - combining US Treasury bonds, gold, REITs and food commodities - creates a unique value proposition in the current high-inflation environment.
The fund's active management approach and partnership with Goldman Sachs ETF Accelerator adds credibility to its operational infrastructure. However, investors should note that the success will largely depend on the execution of its dynamic allocation strategy and management fees (which weren't disclosed in the announcement).
The timing is particularly interesting as it enters the
This ETF launch addresses growing market demand for inflation-protected investment vehicles with built-in diversification. The combination of traditional safe-haven assets with commodities exposure creates a unique hybrid product that could appeal to both conservative and growth-oriented investors.
The backing of Goldman Sachs provides important market infrastructure and potential distribution advantages. The fund's positioning as a treasury alternative comes at an opportune time when many investors are seeking alternatives to traditional fixed-income investments in a high-rate environment.
The involvement of Roubini, known for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, adds significant credibility but also suggests a defensive positioning that aligns with his generally cautious economic outlook. This could resonate with investors concerned about potential market instability.

DISCLOSURES
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Atlas America Fund before investing. This and other information can be found in the fund's prospectus, which can be obtained by calling (855) 511-0520 or visiting www.actfund.io. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. Investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) involve risks, including the possible loss of principal.
Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Price movements in gold may fluctuate quickly and dramatically, have a historically low correlation with the returns of the stock and bond markets, and may not correlate to price movements in other asset classes. The values of municipal securities held by the Fund may be adversely affected by local political and economic conditions and developments. The Fund may make significant investments in a particular segment of the municipal bond market or in the debt of issuers located in the same state or territory. A derivative instrument often has risks similar to its underlying instrument and may have additional risks, including imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, risks of default by the counterparty to certain derivative transactions, magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest rates to which the derivative relates, and risks that the derivative instruments may not be liquid.
Investments in government bonds, including sovereign bonds and quasi-sovereign bonds, involve special risks not present in corporate bonds. The small and mid-capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies, and may underperform other segments of the market or the equity market as a whole. The Fund is non- diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified Fund. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are or become difficult or impossible to purchase or sell. The performance of a fund that is less diversified across countries or geographic regions will be closely tied to market, currency, economic, political, environmental, or regulatory conditions and developments in the country or region in which the fund invests and may be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically-diversified fund. The Fund's investments in Private Funds require it to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles' expenses, including management and performance fees.
By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary's investments. Because the Fund may invest significantly in real estate related investments, such as through REITs, private real estate investment funds, and directly in real estate, its portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market and may experience more volatility and be exposed to greater risk than a fund that does not hold real-estate related investments. The Fund's investments in Private Funds require it to bear a pro rata share of the vehicles' expenses, including management and performance fees. Private Funds are not publicly traded. Accordingly, the Adviser may consider information provided by the institutional manager to determine the estimated value of the Fund's investment therein.
ETFs are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF's shares may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value, an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact an ETF's ability to sell its shares. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
