Trust Company of America Expands ETF Offering
Trust Company of America has partnered with J.P. Morgan, KraneShares and Main Management to offer TCA advisors an additional 18 ETFs on its ETF Custody Advantage platform.
To help manage costs, TCA will provide a custody fee offset on all participating ETFs, automatically applied to assets held in the products on the trading platform.
The nine ETFs offered from J.P. Morgan will use a strategic beta approach. These funds aim to offer high risk-adjusted returns and sit at the intersection of passive and active strategies.
Additionally, KraneShares, a U.S. asset management firm known for its China-focused funds, will offer eight ETFs on the platform, and Main Management, a California-based RIA recognized for its ETF portfolio management has added a Sector Rotation ETF.
TCA’s ETF Custody Advantage launched back in April, with funds from Guggenheim Investments and Global X. TCA is actively working to increase its offering, and the expanded selection now provides advisors with a total of 74 ETFs, including asset classes such as domestic and international equity, bond, currency and commodities.
