Thornburg Expands Active ETF Lineup with Two Fixed Income ETFs

SANTA FE, N.M., Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thornburg Investment Management ("Thornburg"), a global investment firm that oversees $46 billion in assets¹, today announced the launch of two active fixed income exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Thornburg Core Plus Bond ETF (Nasdaq: TPLS) and Thornburg Multi Sector Bond ETF (Nasdaq: TMB). Both ETFs begin trading today.

Last month, Thornburg launched its first two active ETFs, Thornburg International Equity ETF (Nasdaq: TXUE) and Thornburg International Growth ETF (Nasdaq: TXUG). These equity funds have already attracted over $80 million in investments.

"With over $80 million in client inflows, it's clear that investors look to Thornburg's four decades of investing excellence and prudent risk management to achieve their long-term financial goals," said Thornburg CEO Mark Zinkula. "Expanding our ETF lineup with two fixed income ETFs reflects our commitment to meeting long-term client demand."

Thornburg Core Plus Bond ETF, managed by Lon Erickson, CFA, and Christian Hoffmann, CFA, is actively managed and seeks total return, consisting of income and capital appreciation. It manages risk through a portfolio comprised primarily of high-quality investment-grade bonds, complemented by up to 25% in below-investment-grade securities.

Thornburg Multi Sector Bond ETF, managed by Messrs. Erickson and Hoffmann as well as Ali Hassan, CFA, seeks total return, consisting of income and capital appreciation, with active management designed to adapt to changing markets. The fund's exposure across fixed income sectors, including high yield and foreign securities, is based on the team's views on relative value and will help drive income and return potential.

"At its core, Thornburg is an active manager," said Thornburg Global Head of Distribution Jesse Brownell. "We always put our clients first, so we took a deliberate and strategic approach to entering the competitive active ETF market. The positive response to our ETFs is exciting and demonstrates that Thornburg's approach to product development resonates with investors."
