Simplify Launches Global Macro ETF With Brookwood

Simplify Asset Management has launched the Simplify Brookwood Global Macro ETF (GMAC), an actively managed liquid alternatives fund sub-advised by Brookwood Investment Group. GMAC seeks positive returns across market environments by taking long and short exposure across commodities, natural resources, energy, metals, agriculture, industrials, utilities and real estate, as well as strategies including managed futures, risk parity and long/short equity. Brookwood will adjust exposures based on macro factors such as inflation, interest rates, monetary policy, regulation and political developments. The fund will primarily gain exposure through ETFs, including affiliated funds, and swaps, offering investors a single vehicle for a flexible global macro allocation outside a traditional 60/40 portfolio.
