HOLD

Overview

The AdvisorShares Sage Core Reserves ETF (NYSE Arca: HOLD) seeks to preserve capital while maximizing income. HOLD seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a broad range of fixed-income securities, U.S. dollar- denominated investment grade debt securities, including mortgage- or asset-backed securities rated Baa- or higher. The average duration of the Fund will vary on the forecast for interest rates and will normally not exceed one year. HOLD is managed by Sage Advisory Services (“Portfolio Manager”). The Sage fixed-income investment process is based upon implementing a top-down approach focused on actively managing portfolio duration risk, yield curve positioning, market segment allocation, and security selection.

Characteristics

As of 8/31/2021

Composite Quality Ratings provided by Sage Advisory Ltd Co., for the HOLD ETF reflect the underlying holdings of the ETF. Moody’s ratings of the underlying securities are used to calculate the Composite Quality. When Moody’s ratings are unavailable the S&P ratings of the underline securities are used. When neither Moody’s or S&P ratings are available the security is placed into a not rated category.

The credit ratings are published rankings based on detailed financial analyses by a credit bureau specifically as it relates the bond issue’s ability to meet debt obligations. The highest rating is AAA, and the lowest is D. Securities with credit ratings of BBB and above are considered investment grade.

Fixed Income Attributes

As of

Date Description HOLD
02/28/2022 Duration 0.574 years
30-Day SEC Subsidized Yield 0.79%
30-Day SEC Unsubsidized Yield 0.53%

Past Performance is not indicative of future results. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices, while declining interest rates mean rising bond prices. 30–Day SEC Yield (Standardized Yield) is an annualized yield that is calculated by dividing the investment income earned by the Fund less expenses over the most recent 30-day period by the current maximum offering price. The Subsidized Yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements recorded by the Fund during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. The Unsubsidized Yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/ or expense reimbursements in effect. If the Fund does not incur any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period, the 30-Day Subsidized Yield and 30-Day Unsubsidized Yield will be identical.

  • Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting the Fund’s website at www.AdvisorShares.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

  • There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Diversification and sector asset allocation do not guarantee a profit, nor do they eliminate the risk of loss of principal. An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. The Fund’s investment in fixed income securities will change in value in response to interest rate changes and other factors, such as the perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Fixed income securities with longer maturities are subject to greater price shifts as a result of interest rate changes than fixed income securities with shorter maturities. The Fund’s investments in high-yield securities or “junk bonds” are subject to a greater risk of loss of income and principal than higher grade debt securities. In addition the Fund is subject to leveraging risk which tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities. The Fund is also subject to liquidity risk, issuer risk, foreign currency and investment risk, prepayment risk and trading risk. See prospectus for details regarding specific risks.
