The ETF, which commenced operations on April 1, 2025, is managed by Brookmont Capital Management LLC as the investment adviser and King Ridge Capital Advisors as the sub-adviser, headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
Recent developments include Brookmont Capital Management's commitment in September 2025 to subsidize the ETF using firm capital to support liquidity and growth amid challenges in attracting a lead market maker and seed capital, with net assets reaching approximately $30.4 million and 1.5 million shares outstanding as of December 2025; the fund represents the first U.S.-listed ETF dedicated exclusively to catastrophe bonds in a market exceeding $50 billion.
