Introducing Our Newest SAMT Theme: Analog Edge
07/06/2026
The Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF (SAMT) attempts to differentiate itself by 1) providing thematic diversification across multiple, durable themes and 2) rotating in or out of exposures as markets evolve, all within a single ETF.
On that score, we are introducing our newest theme: Analog Edge

Artificial intelligence is transforming industries faster than ever, but not every business is equally vulnerable to disruption. "Analog Edge" focuses on companies whose competitive advantages come from tangible assets, essential infrastructure, and real-world operations rather than knowledge-based work or digital services that AI can increasingly automate. These are businesses built on physical networks, regulated assets, specialized equipment, natural resources, and decades of investment that can't be recreated overnight. They also include companies that rely on hands-on execution or licensed professionals whose work isn't easily replaced by AI.
As AI makes intelligence cheaper and more accessible, ownership of physical assets could become even more valuable. Real-world infrastructure needs electricity, power transmission, construction materials, transportation networks, industrial equipment, and critical commodities to operate and expand. Beyond just tangibles, experiences remain a large part of consumption and are much harder to replace digitally. Companies that own, build, and maintain essential assets or provide those experiences may benefit from growing AI adoption while facing less direct disruption from advances in artificial intelligence. Rather than competing with AI, they support life away from technology.
With this investment theme, we're looking for companies with durable competitive advantages backed by tangible assets, reliable cash flows, and long-lived infrastructure. While no investment is immune to technological change or business risk, we believe businesses rooted in the physical economy are well positioned to adapt as AI reshapes knowledge-intensive industries. Our goal is to invest in companies whose long-term value comes from assets, capabilities & services that remain essential, no matter how quickly artificial intelligence evolves.

Carefully consider each of the Funds' investment objectives, risk, and charges and expenses. This and other information can be found in the Funds' summary or full prospectus which can be obtained by calling (855) 273-7227 or by visiting strategasetfs.com. Please read the prospectus, carefully before investing.
Strategas Asset Management, LLC serves as the investment advisor for each Fund and Vident Advisory, LLC serves as a sub advisor to each Fund. The Funds are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SIDCO), which is not affiliated with Strategas Asset Management, LLC or any of its affiliates, or Vident Advisory, LLC or any of its affiliates.
Shares of any ETF are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, the Strategas Global Policy Opportunities ETF (SAGP) is subject to lobbying focused investment risk. The adviser's investment process utilizes lobbying intensity as the primary input when selecting investments for the Fund's portfolio and does not consider an investment's traditional financial metrics. The Fund may underperform other funds that select investments utilizing more traditional investment metrics. The Fund may also focus its investments in a particular country or geographic region outside the U.S. and may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within that country or geographic regions well as risks of increased volatility and lower trading volume.
In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, the Strategas Macro Thematic Opportunities ETF (SAMT) is subject to macro-thematic trend investing strategy risk. Therefore, the value of the Fund may decline if, among other reasons, macro-thematic trends believed to be beneficial to the Fund do not develop as anticipated or maintain over time, or the securities selected for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio do not perform as anticipated.
In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, the Strategas Macro Momentum ETF (SAMM) may invest in smaller companies, heavily in specific sectors, and also invest in gold, all of which can exhibit high volatility. Securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price desired. Investments with exposure to international markets may experience capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from social, economic or political instability in other nations. REITs are subject to changes in economic conditions, interest rates, and credit risk. MLPs involve risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP. MLP common units and other equity securities can be affected by economic and other factors affecting the stock market in general, expectations of interest rates, investor sentiment towards MLPs or the energy sector, changes in a particular issuer's financial condition, or unfavorable or unanticipated poor performance of a particular issuer. MLP investments in the energy industry entail significant risk and volatility.
The Funds may be more heavily invested in particular sectors and may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors.
