- Aptus Drawdown Managed Equity ETF (ADME) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks capital appreciation with downside protection by investing primarily in a portfolio of 50 to 60 U.S.-listed large-cap equity securities selected based on a proprietary yield plus growth framework incorporating dividend yield, growth outlook, valuation, and price momentum; purchasing exchange-listed put options on individual equities, broad-based U.S. equity indexes, or related ETFs to hedge against market declines; and selectively employing VIX index call options or writing covered puts and calls for additional risk management. The fund's equity holdings emphasize large-cap U.S. stocks across sectors such as information technology, consumer discretionary, and financials, with top positions typically including companies like NVIDIA Corp., Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Amazon.com Inc.; it maintains a net asset value of approximately $245 million as of December 2025 and distributes quarterly income. ADME trades on Cboe BZX Exchange with an expense ratio of 0.79%. Sponsored and advised by Aptus Capital Advisors LLC, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Fairhope, Alabama, the ETF operates within the broader U.S. equity hedged category and targets investors seeking growth potential with managed drawdown risk. Originally launched on June 8, 2016, as the Aptus Behavioral Momentum ETF employing a risk-on/risk-off asset allocation strategy between U.S. equities and Treasury notes, ADME transitioned to its current actively managed drawdown-focused approach prior to November 2019 and underwent a merger on December 27, 2019, incorporating the assets, liabilities, and shareholders of the Aptus Fortified Value ETF (FTVA). In January 2024, Aptus Capital Advisors merged with LibertyFi, a fintech operations outsourcer, to form a combined platform managing over $20 billion in assets and enhancing outsourced technology, investment management, and operational services for registered investment advisors. More recently, in October 2025, Aptus expanded its options-based ETF lineup with a suite of low-cost 15% buffered outcome ETFs (JANB, APRB, JULB, OCTB), complementing ADME within a portfolio of actively managed funds surpassing $5.5 billion in assets.
