NEW YORK —THOR Financial Technologies, LLC — an investment adviser providing proprietary research and asset allocation based a lower volatility model — today announced plans to transfer the listing of the THOR Low Volatility ETF (THLV)(the “Fund”), an exchange-traded fund (ETF), from NYSE Arca, Inc. to the NYSE. The transfer is expected to occur on or about February 1, 2023. No shareholder action is required because of this change, nor is the transfer expected to affect the trading of Fund shares.
About THOR Financial Technologies, LLC is an SEC registered investment advisor and serves as THLV’s investment advisor. THLV is available to investors through most individual brokerage firms. THOR Financial Technologies, LLC provides investment solutions that deploys portfolios in a more intelligent way with a main focus on managing risk. THOR supports forward-thinking financial advisors and investors who believe cutting edge research is essential to access differentiated and productive investment technology.
"The move to the NYSE allows us to provide consistent pricing and truly institutionalize our offering as we grow our family of funds," said Brad Roth, chief investment officer at THOR Financial Technologies. "This move represents THOR's and NYSE's commitment to an exceptional investment and execution experience. THOR strives to offer a best-in-class investor experience, and we believe bringing more oversight with the Designated Market Maker (DMM) system will further improve the experience and strengthen our commitment to ETF traders and shareholders."
THLV seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its total assets in securities included in the Index (THOR Low Volatility Index). The rules-based index is comprised of U.S. equity exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). The primary goal of the Index is to gain exposure to U.S. large cap equities while attempting to lower volatility by avoiding sectors that are currently in a down trending cycle.
"We are excited to welcome THOR to the NYSE floor, where the best-in-class DMM model is available to provide ETFs superior liquidity throughout each trading day, alongside tighter and more liquid opening and closing auctions," said Douglas Yones, Head of ETFs at the NYSE. "We are focused on seeking continuous improvement of the overall investor trading experience and are pleased that THOR will have access to the world's premier exchange for listing and trading ETF's."

Important Risk Information: While the shares of ETFs are tradeable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress. ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF's net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. There is no guarantee that the THLV will achieve its objective. The universe of acceptable investments for the Fund may be limited as compared to other funds due to the Fund’s low volatility model. Because the Fund does not invest in companies that do not meet its low volatility criteria, and the Fund may sell portfolio companies that subsequently violate its criteria, the Fund may be riskier than other mutual funds or ETFs that invest in a broader array of securities.

These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, real estate investments, and commodities, to name a few. The Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss to the extent that the Fund’s investments are concentrated in the securities of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class.
