- The RBB Fund, Inc. (RBB) operates as the oldest and largest independent multiple series trust, providing turnkey platform services for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds that enable investment advisors to focus on asset management while outsourcing fund establishment, servicing, corporate governance, and compliance. Founded in 1988 and headquartered at 615 East Michigan Street in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, RBB supports over 13 investment advisors, more than 20 unaffiliated subadvisors, and over 60 fund offerings managing approximately $23-$28 billion in assets, primarily serving institutional and retail investors in the United States with an emphasis on scalability, cost efficiencies, and open-architecture cost-sharing. Core offerings include ETF and mutual fund structures across diverse strategies such as active equity, fixed income, thematic, and alternative investments; notable products encompass the US Treasury 3 Year Note ETF (UTRE; ticker: UTRE), a passively managed ETF launched in March 2023 that tracks the Bloomberg US Treasury Bellwether 3Y Total Return USD Unhedged Index by investing in on-the-run 3-year US Treasury notes, alongside other ETFs like those from F/M Investments, First Eagle Investments, Emerald Advisers, and Tweedy, Browne. RBB's platform facilitates fully transparent, semi-transparent, and active ETFs; mutual fund conversions to ETFs under Section 351 of the IRS code; and interval funds for illiquid strategies, distributed primarily through Vigilant Distributors, LLC or Quasar Distributors, LLC. In recent developments, RBB has driven significant growth in its ETF segment with launches including the F/m Emerald Life Sciences Innovation ETF (LFSC) in October 2024, First Eagle Investments' active equity ETFs in December 2024, and the Tweedy, Browne Insider + Value ETF in February 2025; onboarded key executives such as Steven Plump as CEO and President in 2022, Craig Urciuoli as Director of Marketing and Business Development, and Thomas M. Reynolds, CPA, as Assistant Treasurer and Secretary in October 2024; and expanded operations post-independence from prior bank affiliations through service provider transitions and RFPs since 2015, positioning for further international ETF strategies and mutual fund-to-ETF conversions amid surging demand for ETF structures.
