It targets a portfolio duration of two to eight years and weighted average maturity of two to fifteen years, with flexibility to invest across maturities, credit qualities including up to 20% in high-yield securities, and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign debt; the fund may use derivatives such as swaps, futures, and options for hedging, duration management, or speculation, and employs borrowing for leverage. Launched on October 7, 2025, and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, TRBF is advised by Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC, with Quasar Distributors, LLC as distributor, and features a net expense ratio of 0.44% after fee waivers through September 30, 2027. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the fund operates within Angel Oak's ETF platform, which reached a three-year milestone in November 2025 with $2.6 billion in assets under management across five fixed income strategies, reflecting robust growth and the recent addition of TRBF as a core-plus offering focused on securitized credit for income and diversification.
