WHEATON, IL--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2015) - (
Ben Fulton, Founder and CEO of Elkhorn, states, "We are excited to be working closely with a leading global financial institution like Barclays and a visionary like Tom Dorsey. Both have demonstrated the ability to grow innovative firms like Elkhorn and our entrepreneurial histories are a natural fit. These collaborative partnerships will help expand our product development and distribution capabilities to better meet clients' needs."
Elkhorn is pioneering a new chapter in investment management by developing a wide array of investment structures-including ETFs, UITs, ETF-linked and market-linked solutions-based on world-class research.
"We are extremely pleased to team with Elkhorn," added Fabien Labouret, Global Head of EFS Investment Strategies at Barclays. "We believe there is a great opportunity for Elkhorn to grow as a result of their innovative approach to meeting advisor's needs. Their structurally diverse approach is very complementary to our business and we believe increases the scope by which we can serve our clients."
In addition to partnering with Barclays on new strategies, Elkhorn will continue to grow its relationship with Dorsey, Wright & Associates by adding its founder, Tom Dorsey, as a strategic stakeholder.
"Elkhorn's vision of implementing research across structures offers end users a more holistic approach to investing and fits perfectly with Dorsey, Wright & Associates," said Tom Dorsey, CEO of Dorsey Holdings and Founder of Dorsey, Wright & Associates. "At the end of the day, we believe advisors should be able to dictate the structure of the investment, not the structuring firm. We have partnered with Elkhorn already on numerous products and look to further expansion in the near future."

There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, including those regarding short selling and margin maintenance requirements. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. The fund's return may not match the return of the underlying index. The fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to volatile price fluctuations. Because the fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This fund is new and has a limited operating history.
Shares are not individually redeemable and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the fund and tender those shares for redemption to the fund in Creation Units only, typically consisting of 50,000 Shares.
Elkhorn Investments, LLC, Barclays, Dorsey, Wright & Associates, and ALPS Distributors, Inc. are not affiliated with each other.
ALPS Distributors, Inc. is the distributor of Elkhorn exchange-traded funds.
