Acuitas Small Cap Active ETF (AIMS) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to provide long‑term capital appreciation with an emphasis on moderating the higher volatility typically associated with U.S. small‑cap stocks. Positioned in the Size & Style category with a broad‑based small‑cap focus, AIMS seeks diversified exposure across the small‑capitalization universe rather than concentrating by sector or a single investment style.
The fund employs a multi‑manager approach, allocating capital to a combination of experienced sub‑advisors and investment teams with complementary stock‑picking philosophies. That multi‑manager structure is intended to broaden the range of ideas captured, reduce manager‑specific risk, and smooth return patterns over time. Portfolio construction emphasizes active security selection, diversification across industries and market segments, and risk‑aware position sizing to pursue upside while dampening downside swings.
AIMS is aimed at investors who want the growth potential of U.S. small caps but prefer an active, research‑driven solution that attempts to manage volatility more proactively than a passive small‑cap index fund. In a diversified portfolio, the fund can serve as a satellite allocation to enhance overall equity growth potential or as a core tactical holding for investors seeking small‑cap exposure with active risk management.
As an ETF, AIMS offers the trading flexibility and intraday liquidity investors expect from the exchange‑traded format while delivering a professionally managed, broad‑based small‑cap strategy executed via a multi‑manager platform.
