Amplify ETFs Launches the Amplify Small-Mid Cap Equity ETF (NYSE Arca: SMAP)
New actively managed ETF taps into Curi RMB Capital's time-tested track record in selecting high-quality small- and mid-cap companies.
CHICAGO, IL - October 23, 2024 — Amplify ETFs announces the launch of the actively managed Amplify Small-Mid Cap Equity ETF (NYSE Arca: SMAP), offering investors targeted exposure to high-quality U.S.-listed small- and mid-cap growth and value equity securities.
SMAP seeks to invest in companies with market capitalizations between $400 million and the largest companies in the Russell 2500 Index1, giving successful companies room to run into mid-cap without forced premature selling. Curi RMB Capital actively manages SMAP by using a proprietary economic return framework to identify attractively priced small- to mid-cap companies across all stages of the corporate lifecycle while building a portfolio diversified by corporate lifecycle stage and sector.
“SMAP offers investors a compelling opportunity to capitalize on the growth potential of professionally selected small and mid-cap companies in a rate-cutting environment,” said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs. “The Curi RMB Capital team prides itself on a rigorous selection process in search of high-quality small- and mid-cap companies. SMAP is a natural complement to our growing suite of ETFs that meet the diverse needs of today's investors."
Curi RMB Capital also runs the RMB SMID Cap Fund (RMBMX), a mutual fund with a 20-year track record. RMBMX is led by Christopher Faber, senior vice president and portfolio manager, who has a history of identifying market inefficiencies and uncovering high-growth potential small and mid-sized companies. Christopher Faber is also the lead portfolio manager for SMAP.
“We are pleased to enter the ETF market with Amplify ETFs as our partner,” said Faber. “Market conditions are favorable for small- and mid-cap companies driven by lower rates, strong earnings potential and current valuations.”
