- Fundamentals First ETF (KNOW) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks income and capital appreciation through a diversified portfolio emphasizing fundamental investment research; it primarily invests in publicly traded equity securities, including common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of companies across all market capitalizations, industries, and geographies, encompassing U.S., foreign developed, and emerging markets, as well as fixed income securities such as domestic and foreign corporate bonds, notes, U.S. Treasury securities, money market instruments, and exchange-traded funds focused on these asset classes. The fund holds approximately 100 securities, with a focus on worldwide companies selected for their long-term viability, risk diversification, and potential for growth and income; it offers a 30-day yield of around 1.98% and quarterly dividend payouts. Launched on January 26, 2024, the ETF operates under Mason Capital Fund Trust, with investment advisory services provided by Mason Capital Partners, a Boston-based registered investment advisor founded in 1978 and headquartered at 50 Federal Street, 9th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts; distribution is handled by Quasar Distributors LLC. The ETF targets a global moderately aggressive allocation strategy suitable for investors seeking balanced exposure to equities and fixed income, with assets under management recently around $5.5 million, a net expense ratio of 1.09%, and shares outstanding near 500,000. Mason Capital Partners, the advisor with over 50 years of experience managing custom accounts for institutions, pension funds, high-net-worth individuals, and now this ETF, applies a bottom-up approach prioritizing preservation of capital, diversification, and income generation over speculative trading. While bearing risks associated with market volatility, small- and mid-cap stocks, fixed income interest rate sensitivity, foreign and emerging market exposures, and its limited operating history as a new fund, the ETF trades on the BATS exchange under the ticker KNOW. No major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or strategic shifts specific to the ETF or Mason Capital Partners have been reported in the last 1-2 years; the firm maintains its focus on the ETF's core strategy without noted product launches, reorganizations, or operational changes beyond routine annual prospectus updates.
