The largest ETF in the AdvisorShares family is the AdvisorShares Mars Hill Global Relative Value ETF (NYSE: GRV), the industry's first long/short ETF, which in four months has grown to over $42 million in assets. The AdvisorShares line-up consists of a few other firsts: The AdvisorShares Dent Tactical ETF (NYSE: DENT) was the first actively managed ETF of ETFs, and the AdvisorShares WCM/BNY Mellon Focused Growth ADR ETF (NYSE: AADR) was the first international actively managed ETF.

The newest ETF in the AdvisorShares family is the AdvisorShares Cambria Global Tactical ETF (NYSE: GTAA), an ETF managed by Mebane Faber and Eric Richardson, co-authors of the popular book, 'The Ivy Portfolio'. It raised over $40 million in assets in just two weeks of being available for investment.

"We are pleased to be positioned with a unique line-up of actively managed investment strategies. The financial advisor community we serve has expressed high interest in transparency and the need for tax efficiency for their client base, all attributes that our product suite contains," stated Noah Hamman, CEO and Founder of AdvisorShares.

"$100 Million in assets under management is no small feat in today's market environment and further validates the experienced money managers of our products and the story of the benefits that the ETF structure can bring to shareholders. We strive to educate the advisor community and will continue to bring value added investment strategies and educational approaches to the marketplace," he added.

Eric Shore, a financial advisor with Shore Wealth Management said, "I use ETFs for my clients but am also a believer in active management and appreciate what AdvisorShares is doing with the ETF structure to marry the two concepts. AdvisorShares' products allow me to better diversify not only across asset classes, but across portfolio managers as well by way of a ticker symbol traded on an exchange."

An investment in the Fund is subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. Non-diversification exposes the Fund to greater market risk than if its assets were diversified among a greater number of issuers and/or sectors. High yield, lower rated bonds involve a greater degree of risk than investment grade bonds in return for higher yield potential. As such, securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater credit, market, issuer and liquidity risk than investment grade securities. Interest rate risk occurs when interest rates rise as bond prices usually fall. This Fund may not be suitable for all investors. Newly organized, actively managed Funds have no trading history and there can be no assurance that active trading markets will be developed or maintained.
