Ultimus Managers Trust – Q3 All-Season Tactical Advantage ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through a tactical, systematic allocation strategy across U.S. equity-index derivatives, exchange-traded funds and fixed-income instruments. The fund, traded on Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker QTAC, invests principally in futures contracts referencing U.S. equity indexes, including the S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq-100 Index; leveraged and inverse U.S. equity index ETFs; leveraged fixed-income index ETFs; money market funds and cash equivalents; U.S. Treasury securities; and short-term bonds. Its investment approach uses proprietary algorithmic models that evaluate technical, economic and fundamental indicators, including market-cycle conditions, sentiment, momentum, moving averages, and overbought or oversold measures, to determine long, neutral or bearish market positioning.
Managed by Q3 Asset Management Corporation, the fund may obtain aggregate notional exposure of as much as 150% long or 150% short of net assets through index futures and ETFs when its signals indicate sufficiently strong bullish or bearish conditions. Under normal conditions, index-futures positions are generally expected to represent approximately 10% of net assets on a mark-to-market basis, while the remaining portfolio is generally allocated to fixed-income investments for income generation and futures collateral. The fund may use short index futures and inverse ETFs during bearish periods and typically rotates exposure between Nasdaq-100-linked equity investments and short-term bonds; it may employ leverage of up to 1.5 times on equity holdings.
QTAC is a diversified series of Ultimus Managers Trust, an open-end management investment company, with Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC providing fund-administration contact services from Cincinnati, Ohio.
