  • Trimtabs Announces Name Change to TTAC Fund Will Be Renamed Trimtabs All Cap US Free-Cash-Flow ETF
    TrimTabs Announces Name Change to TTAC Fund will be renamed TrimTabs All Cap US Free-Cash-Flow ETF New York, NY, November 30, 2017 — TrimTabs Asset Management (TTAM), a New York City-based investment manager focused on free cash flow-centric strategies, today announced a change to the name of its flagship fund, TTAC, previously known as the TrimTabs Float Shrink ETF. Effective immediately, the fund’s name will be changed to the TrimTabs All Cap US Free-Cash-Flow ETF, and will continue to trade under the same ticker, TTAC. “The new name more accurately reflects the central driver of alpha for the TrimTabs Asset Management investment process,” said Ted Theodore, Vice Chairman and Chief Investment Officer at TrimTabs. “As we continue to build out our family of investment products centered around the theme of free cash flow, we felt it would be useful to ensure that naming was consistent across our growing product line.” The firm has already filed for 14 new free cash-flow based ETFs and will be introducing several of these products into the ETF marketplace in the coming months. An actively managed fund, TTAC uses a proprietary algorithm to select approximately 100 companies that are both generating free cash flow and reducing their share counts while maintaining healthy balance sheets. “Free cash flow lies at the heart of what we do at TrimTabs,” Theodore continued. “It’s one of the few financial indicators that we feel can provide real insights into a company’s underlying financial health. Managements have enormous discretion in how they report company financials, but free cash flow is much less subject to financial gimmickry.” With the name change, the TrimTabs All Cap US Free-Cash-Flow ETF (TTAC)’s naming is now brought into closer alignment with that of its sister ETF, the TrimTabs All Cap International Free-Cash-Flow ETF (TTAI), which follows a similar strategy, but is instead focused on companies across developed countries outside the United States.

  • Forum Journal
    2ndAnnual Capital Link Dissect ETFs Forum Tuesday, October 13, 2015 New York City In Cooperation With Gold Sponsors UNLOCKING THE WORLD’S POTENTIAL Leading Innovation in the Exchange Traded Products and Index Industry • ETP Listing and Trading • Index Design and Servicing Visit nyse.com/etp 16862_NYSE_ETP_Ad_141023.indd 1 10/23/14 2:14 PM In today’s environment, against the backdrop of a developing but slow US economic recovery, numerous global geopolitical challenges and a volatile stock market, it is vital to maintain a regular flow of information and provide a platform where ETF investors and industry participants can exchange views and information on the development and outlook of ETFs in the US and abroad. Our Dissect ETFs conference is our ETF only focused conference and is an extension of our Annual Closed-End Funds & Global ETFs Forum, which is held in April and has a solid 15-year track record of success attracting 1,000+ delegates annually. Given the complexity, diversity and growth of the ETF sector, we felt that an ETF only event would allow us to deep dive into the ETF space and discuss in depth the latest trends and developments. Thus, Capital Link will be hosting two events annually, in April and October. Capital Link’s Forum facilitates an effective interaction among a diversified audience, including the major ETF issuers, institutional investors, financial advisors and planners, registered investment advisors, private bankers and wealth management professionals, ETF analysts, industry specialists and the financial press and media. Capital Link hosts 12 Investor Conferences annually in New York, London, Athens and Shanghai.

  • Fourth Quarter 2012 Investor Letter
    Fourth Quarter 2012 Investor Letter Portfolio Comments We made minimal changes to our portfolios this quarter because we have setup our portfolios to take advantage of the Federal Reserve’s money printing, which was increased in both the third ($40 billion/month) and fourth ($45 billion/month) quarters. With a portfolio of attractively-valued stocks, some stock market index hedges and cash, we felt that our portfolios were positioned well for the events of this quarter. While investing always involves uncertainty, this quarter contained a number of exogenous (non-financial market) uncertainties: the US elections, the subsequent negotiations to tackle the “fiscal cliff”, the Fed’s December meeting dealing with the end of “Operation Twist”, and the ongoing saga of Europe and its bailout negotiations. In spite of our preparations, our portfolios did not perform as expected due to the markets’ near disregard of the fiscal difficulties in the US, Europe, Japan and much of the rest of the developed world. Some positions including our weaker yen and forestry products investments performed well, but our precious metals, energy, agricultural and pharmaceutical positions, after a strong third quarter, suffered during the fourth quarter. The complacency which often accompanies dampened volatility, reappeared and led traders to shed more defensive positions like metals, energy and pharma stocks in order to redeploy into growth/momentum stocks that had outperformed during the year. Why? Our analysis has been correct: we were proven to be right in recognizing that the US economy had not recovered last spring, we correctly anticipated that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Fed’s Open Market Committee would be forced to institute more quantitative easing (QE3, which was announced in September and QE4, which was announced in December) and we predicted that Europe would stay weak and that Japan would be forced into more quantitative easing (the landslide December election in Japan guarantees this will happen in early-to-mid-2013).
