- Northern Lights Fund Trust IV operates as a Delaware statutory trust that serves as an open-end management investment company, offering a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on diverse equity strategies, including sector rotation, yield enhancement, emerging markets exposure, and thematic investing; its funds employ active management, long/short approaches, and index-tracking methodologies across global public equity markets in growth and value stocks of companies spanning diversified sectors and market capitalizations. The Trust's ETF lineup encompasses products such as the Brookstone Growth Stock ETF (BAMG), Brookstone Yield ETF, Inspire Corporate Bond ETF, Main Sector Rotation ETF (SECT), National Security Emerging Markets Index ETF (NSI), Main BuyWrite ETF, Monarch Dividend Plus Index ETF (MDPL), and others managed by sub-advisers including Tuttle Capital Management, LLC, Main Management ETF Advisors, LLC, and Moerus Capital Management; these funds target institutional and retail investors seeking specialized exposure with features like inverse positioning, options overlays, and socially conscious screening. Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, through its registered agent at 1209 Orange Street with operational addresses in San Francisco, California, the Trust was established around 2015 and conducts its activities exclusively within the United States.
Among its offerings, the Inverse Cramer Tracker ETF (SJIM), launched on March 2, 2023, and managed by Tuttle Capital Management, pursued an actively managed strategy to deliver investment results approximately opposite to those of securities recommended by television personality Jim Cramer, with at least 80% of its assets inversely positioned in such securities across diversified sectors via long/short transactions. In a significant recent development, the Board of Trustees authorized the closure and liquidation of the SJIM ETF in January 2024, with trading ceasing on February 13, 2024, due to insufficient retail investor interest in its long/short portfolio despite achieving its initial mission; shareholders received pro rata distributions of the fund's holdings, marking a strategic pivot amid focus on higher-demand products like the T-REX line. The Trust continues to expand its active ETF series through ongoing SEC filings and sub-adviser partnerships, including recent prospectus updates in 2024 and 2025 for funds like NSI and MDPL, without reported acquisitions, funding rounds, or major reorganizations in the last two years.
