Applications

The Applicants behind AdvisorShares are seeking relief to establish and operate a series of ActiveShares ETFs, which will be registered as open-end management investment companies under the Act.

The Trust, a statutory trust established in Delaware, will be the vehicle for these Funds, which will operate as ActiveShares ETFs as described in the Reference Order.

The Initial Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, will serve as the investment adviser to the Initial Funds, and will be registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Application for Exemption

The Application for Exemptive Relief is a crucial step in the process of establishing an ActiveShares ETF. This is where the applicants, including the Trust and the Adviser, request relief from certain rules and regulations to operate their funds.

The applicants, which include the Trust, the Adviser, and the Distributor, are seeking relief from the SEC to operate their ActiveShares ETFs. This includes two initial funds, the Initial Funds, which will be the first to operate under this new structure.

The Adviser, a Delaware limited liability company, will be responsible for managing the investment of the Initial Funds. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

The Distributor, also a Delaware limited liability company, will act as the principal underwriter of Shares of the Funds. This means they will be responsible for selling the shares to investors and will comply with the terms and conditions of the Order.

AdvisorShares has partnered with Philippe Cousteau Jr. to launch the Global Echo ETF, which focuses on sustainable investing. The fund donates a portion of its expense fees to the Global Echo Foundation, a nonprofit co-founded by Cousteau.

The Global Echo ETF has an expense ratio of 1.7%, with 0.4% going directly to the Global Echo Foundation. This means investors don't get a tax write-off for the donated portion of the management fee.
