Twin Oak Strategic Solutions ETF (TOS)

Overview

TOS is focused on achieving total return through investments in U.S. equity securities that span all market capitalizations. The fund is designed to deliver performance through a combination of equities, ETFs (including those that are affiliated), and various derivatives such as options, swaps, futures, and structured notes. The investment strategy incorporates a mix of detailed, bottom-up fundamental research targeting individual securities, alongside broad, top-down portfolio analysis. To enhance the resilience of the fund during market fluctuations, TOS may utilize hedging strategies that involve the use of derivative contracts. Such derivatives serve as a means to mitigate risk associated with specific securities or general market movements by employing indices or ETFs as a hedge. The utilization of certain derivatives can introduce leverage-like effects, amplifying the returns or risks faced by the fund. Additionally, TOS has the option to allocate resources into cash, cash equivalents, or money market instruments. The fund may also maintain an investment in an affiliated ETF that emphasizes capital appreciation and low volatility to manage downturn risk. As an actively managed ETF, the fund manager retains the authority to make real-time adjustments to the portfolio whenever deemed necessary, allowing for strategic responsiveness to market conditions.
