MFAM Introduces the Motley Fool Small-Cap Growth ETF

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MFAM (Motley Fool Asset Management) today announced the launch of the Motley Fool Small-Cap Growth ETF (Ticker: MFMS), their first actively managed ETF, adding to their ETF and Mutual Fund lineup.

MFAM, the $2.4 billion asset manager, known for its 10-year history of providing principles-driven investment management products, is expanding with the addition of the actively managed ETF to complement its existing product lineup of three actively managed mutual funds, and one passive ETF. 

The Motley Fool Small Cap ETF is designed to select small-cap companies with the goal of providing long-term growth for investors, specifically looking at companies which offer distinct products or services with large addressable markets and features that meet their key evaluation criteria like; management culture and incentives, economics of the business, competitive advantage and durability of competitive advantage to seek to ensure that only the highest quality companies are selected.

The Motley Fool Small-Cap Growth ETF is actively managed because we believe investors need to be highly selective in a marketplace that is constantly changing.  "The US has never been more entrepreneurial and there is a wide variety of accelerating, innovative companies looking to meet specific needs for growing markets - domestically and even internationally," said Denise Coursey, President of the MFAM. "We're excited to find those possibilities and this Fund should fit nicely into our repertoire of funds," she said.

"This is an exciting time for us," said Charly Travers, Portfolio Manager of the Fund. "We specifically like the compelling competitive advantages, long runways for growth, and expanding markets that small caps offer," he said.

Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price, not NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. This Fund invests primarily in particular market capitalizations, including small cap stocks, thus its performance will be especially sensitive to market conditions that particularly affect smaller capitalization companies. The Fund is non-diversified, which means its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Fund. 

Gross expense ratio: 0.85%
