Simplify DBi CTA Managed Futures Index ETF

Simplify DBi CTA Managed Futures Index ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to track the DBi CTA Managed Futures Index. This index aims to replicate the pre-fee performance of the largest commodity trading advisors (CTAs) in the managed futures space, providing investors with a reliable benchmark for this alternative strategy. The ETF achieves this through strategic long and short positions in futures contracts across equities, interest rates, currencies, and commodities, with positions systematically rebalanced weekly based on a proprietary 10-factor replication model developed by DBi. As a rules-based product, it employs derivatives like unfunded swaps to mirror the index's behavior, holding primarily the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF and minimal cash equivalents. Launched in February 2026 with a low expense ratio of 0.35%, Simplify DBi CTA Managed Futures Index ETF plays a key role in the alternatives market by offering diversified exposure to trend-following and systematic futures strategies, which historically exhibit low correlation to traditional equities and potential diversification benefits during market stress.
