THOR Financial Technologies Launches Managed Risk Dynamic ETF (THMR)
THMR is built on a risk-first investment philosophy, emphasizing the management of downside risk as the foundation for long-term capital appreciation rather than attempting to forecast market returns. THMR’s approach seeks to limit the severity and duration of drawdowns, with the objective of improving long-term compounded returns through greater consistency rather than static market exposure. By seeking to reduce unnecessary volatility and large drawdowns, the Fund aims to mitigate the compounding effects of volatility drag, which can materially erode long-term returns even when average returns appear attractive.
“A core insight from our research is that losses matter disproportionately to long-term outcomes,” said Professor
Unlike traditional funds that maintain fixed allocations across market cycles, THMR employs a rules-based, multi-strategy framework that continuously evaluates market conditions and portfolio risk. The Fund has the flexibility to increase exposure during favorable environments and shift defensively during periods of heightened uncertainty.
“Most portfolios fail not because investors miss the upside, but because they suffer large losses at the wrong time,” said
A Research-Driven Approach
The Fund’s investment strategy is implemented by
These principles are translated into a systematic portfolio construction process that allocates capital across a diversified set of investment strategies spanning equities, fixed income, commodities (including gold), and alternative assets. Strategies are evaluated relative to one another based on risk-adjusted performance, allowing capital to migrate toward those better aligned with prevailing market conditions while limiting prolonged exposure to underperforming strategies.
Key Features of the THOR Managed Risk Dynamic ETF
-
Competitive Strategy Allocation:
The Fund allocates assets across a diversified set of investment strategies spanning equities, fixed income, commodities (including gold), and alternative assets. Strategies are evaluated relative to one another based on risk-adjusted performance, allowing capital to migrate toward those better aligned with prevailing market conditions.
-
Adaptive Rebalancing and Defensive Flexibility:
Allocations are reviewed on a recurring basis. During periods of elevated risk or sustained market stress, the Fund may allocate a significant portion of assets to cash, cash equivalents, or defensive instruments. In more favorable environments, the Fund may increase exposure to growth-oriented strategies.

Active, Risk-Focused Management:
The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of any index, providing flexibility to deviate from traditional benchmarks in pursuit of improved risk-adjusted outcomes.
About THOR Financial Technologies
Important Risk Considerations
Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. The
The Fund’s investment approach relies on quantitative models and rules-based processes, which may not perform as intended under all market conditions. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s risk management framework will be successful or that it will achieve its investment objective. Because the Fund is newly launched, it has a limited operating history for investors to evaluate.
The Fund allocates across multiple asset classes and investment strategies, including equities, fixed income, commodities (such as gold), alternative investments, and, at times, leveraged ETFs. These investments may be subject to increased volatility, liquidity constraints, leverage-related losses, and rapid changes in market conditions. Exposure to commodities and cryptocurrencies may involve heightened volatility and regulatory uncertainty.
As an exchange-traded fund, shares of the Fund trade on an exchange at market prices, which may differ from the Fund’s net asset value (NAV). Shares may trade at a premium or discount to NAV, particularly during periods of market stress. In addition, the Fund’s ability to create or redeem shares depends on a limited number of authorized participants, which could affect trading liquidity.
The Fund may hold significant cash or cash equivalents during certain market environments, which may limit its ability to participate in market advances. The Fund may also have concentrated exposure to specific sectors, including the technology sector, which may experience greater volatility than the broader market.
Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other important information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus.
