Capital Link Recognizes the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (HACK) As Most Innovative ETP of 2014

Factor Advisors LLC, a subsidiary of the ETF Managers Group LLC, the Advisor and Manager to the PureFunds ISE Cyber Security ETF (NYSE: HACK), is proud to announce that HACK has been recognized as the Most Innovative ETP of 2014 at the Capital Link Annual Closed-End Fund & ETP Awards. Launched in November 2014, the ETF is the first exchange-traded fund to provide specific exposure to the cyber security sector by using a passive, index approach to provide investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond generally to the ISE Cyber SecurityTM Index.

“On behalf of the team of industry experts that came together to develop the underlying index and deliver the product to market, I’m excited to accept this recognition for our newest fund. Being named the Most Innovative ETP of 2014 speaks to our commitment to launch products that address under-represented market segments,” said Andrew Chanin, CEO of PureFunds. “Investment in cyber security continues to be at the forefront of business and government spending, and we believe the companies in the ETF are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend. The market’s appetite for our product, which has more than $600 million in assets as of April 22nd, only underscores our belief in the long-term nature of this trend.”

Capital Link is the host of the Annual Closed End Fund & ETP Awards, which aim to identify and recognize those fund sponsors and executives who consistently apply high standards of financial disclosure, investor and shareholder relations and innovation. The CEF & ETP Awards are based on nominations by a committee of analysts and industry specialists who actively follow CEFs and ETFs.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The Funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect from loss in a declining market. Investments in smaller companies tend to have limited and greater price volatility that larger-capitalization companies. Several foreign countries have begun a process of privatizing certain entities and industries, which may lose money or be nationalized. The Fund invests in some economies that are heavily dependent upon trading with key partners. Any reduction in this trading may cause an adverse impact on the economy in which the Fund invests.

Factor Advisors, LLC serves as the investment adviser and Penserra Capital Management LLC serves as sub-advisor to the fund. The Funds are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC, which is not affiliated with Factor Advisors, LLC or any of its affiliates.
