Madison Investments Expands Actively-Managed ETF Suite with First of Two Fixed-Income Funds

MADISON, Wis., Aug. 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Investments, an independently-owned investment firm managing $22.9 billion in assets, today announces the launch of the Madison Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSE: MAGG), the latest addition to its suite of actively-managed, income-driven exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

This expansion follows the launch of the suite’s two equity funds: The Madison Covered Call ETF (NYSE: CVRD) and the Madison Dividend Value ETF (NYSE: DIVL). The ETF suite combines Madison’s decades-long track record of risk-conscious investing with an active management approach designed to pursue stable income with lower-than-benchmark risk. The firm will round out its ETF suite in the coming weeks with the addition of a second fixed income product, the Madison Short Term Strategic Income ETF (NYSE: MSTI).

“Our expanding ETF suite highlights our commitment to providing strategies that embody our longstanding ‘Participate and Protect’ philosophy,” said Steven Carl, Chair of the Executive Committee and Chief Distribution Officer. “Each product was designed to balance potential returns with prudent risk management.”

The Madison Aggregate Bond ETF aims to generate superior long-term risk-adjusted performance by allocating across a diverse set of fixed income sectors and individual securities. Adhering to a disciplined investment process that features proprietary research and a high-quality bias, the fund actively manages portfolio duration, yield curve positioning, sector/industry allocation, and credit quality. It has an expense ratio of 0.40%. The Madison Aggregate Bond ETF is managed by the experienced team of Mike Sanders, CFA, Head of Fixed Income and Portfolio Manager, and Allen Olson, CFA, Portfolio Manager. The two have a combined 54 years of industry experience.

Sanders notes, "Today’s rising rate environment has revitalized the appeal of bonds for investors looking for yield. MAGG is the first of two funds designed to address the growing demand for dynamic, risk-managed fixed income strategies. We firmly believe active management is essential for getting the most value out of your fixed income allocation.”

MAGG and MSTI - An investment in these funds is subject to risk and there can be no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objective. The risks associated with an investment in these funds can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in these funds include: interest rate risk, call risk, risk of default, liquidity risk, mortgage-backed security risk, credit risk and repayment/extension risk, non-investment grade security risk and foreign security and emerging market risk. As interest rates rise, the prices of bonds fall. Long-term bonds are more exposed to interest-rate risk than short-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. More detailed information regarding these risks can be found in the individual fund’s prospectus.

The Fund’s investment strategy reflects Madison’s general “Participate and Protect®” investment philosophy. Madison’s expectation is that investors in the Fund will participate near fully in market appreciation during bull markets and experience something less than full participation during bear markets compared with investors in portfolios holding more speculative and volatile securities. Therefore, the Fund’s investment philosophy is intended to represent a conservative investment strategy. There is no assurance that Madison’s expectations regarding this investment strategy will be realized.
