Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator) announced today it has licensed the Loup Frontier Tech Index from Loup Ventures, LLC in anticipation for listing the Innovator Loup Frontier Tech ETF (LOUP) on July 25, 2018.

The Loup Frontier Tech Index is a rules-based index designed to track the performance of leading companies that are influencing the future of technology in areas including, but not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI), computer perception, robotics, autonomous vehicles, virtual/mixed/augmented reality, and other similarly disruptive innovations.

“We are proud to be partnering with Gene Munster and the venerable technology-research team at Loup Ventures,” said Bruce Bond, Chief Executive Officer of Innovator Capital Management. “The Loup Frontier Tech Index tracks all of the key drivers of disruptive technology identified and chosen by an award winning technology research team.”

“While some indexes track a particular industry vertical like robotics or artificial intelligence, the Loup Frontier Tech Index seeks to track a broader domain of frontier technologies, which encompass a wide range of innovations that will collectively lead the next major technological revolution,” added Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Loup Ventures.

The Innovator Loup Frontier Tech ETF is not yet available for investment.

Investing involves risks. Principal loss is possible. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Index. The fund invests in preferred securities which may be subject to many of the risks associated with debt securities, including interest rate risk. The fund invests in equity securities which may be subject to volatile price fluctuations. Because the fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price.

The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information, and may be obtained at innovatoretfs.com or by calling 800.208.5212. Read it carefully before investing.
