Eagle Capital Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of EAGL ETF
U.S. equity manager highlights $2 billion ETF's performance and growth since its 2024 launch and encourages financial advisors and consultants to reassess client equity allocations based on current market and index conditions.
NEW YORK, March 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eagle Capital Management (Eagle), an independent asset manager based in New York City, today celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Eagle Capital Select Equity ETF (NYSE Arca: EAGL).
Since its March 2024 inception, EAGL has returned 13.40% NAV (13.13% Market Price) as of March 20, 2025. EAGL's AUM has grown from approximately $1.8 billion at launch to over $2.3 billion as of March 20, 2025, driven by strong investor inflows and fund performance. Eagle is pleased with EAGL's trading volumes, bid/ask spreads, and other key operational factors important to ETF investors.
EAGL is a concentrated, actively managed large-cap equity ETF that seeks to produce superior returns over market cycles by investing in companies whose intrinsic values and growth prospects may be under-appreciated. Eagle has invested using this philosophy and discipline since its founding in 1988, built on a foundation of fundamental research, a long-term time horizon, and selectivity that results in a concentrated portfolio of 20-35 stocks.
"I'm proud of our team at Eagle and grateful to our clients and partners for helping us reach this important one-year milestone," said Michael Falcon, CEO of Eagle. "Our disciplined, long-term strategy is distinct from most managers, and it's great that advisors and consultants now have an easy, tax-efficient way to access our capabilities," he continued.
As stock indexes have recently become increasingly concentrated in the tech sector and a few large companies, many investment professionals are reassessing their U.S. equity exposure.
"Passive investing has been a game-changer for many, but today's indexes are crowded, concentrated, and expensive" said John Galateria, Eagle's Head of Client Team. "Given the current market volatility, valuations, and index composition, there are real opportunities to enhance diversification and returns with the right manager."
The Fund's performance data quoted above represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund's shares will fluctuate such that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Performance data current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 833-782-2211. The Fund's return since inception (3/21/2024) through 12/31/2024 was 10.88% NAV (11.10% Market Price).
The 1-year anniversary is significant and EAGL is continuing to gain recognition and add platform partners as a result. Falcon concluded, "We're committed to partnering with financial institutions, consultants, advisors and investors to improve their investment outcomes. The EAGL ETF, along with our core SMA and other offerings, is how we do that."

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse corporate, economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Investing in ETFs involves risk, including potential loss of principal. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are subject to the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. In addition, investments in ADRs and GDRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market. Investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Fund investments in foreign currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies are subject to currency risk. The Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on Eagle's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. A new or smaller fund is subject to the risk that its performance may not represent how the fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, new funds have limited operating histories for investors to evaluate and new and smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. The Fund is an ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly-traded securities. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market prices (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund is not an index fund.

Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund, Inc. Announces Initiatives to Enhance Shareholder Value
10% Annual Rate Level Distribution Policy Conditional Tender Offer for 10% of Outstanding Shares NEW YORK, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund, Inc. (the 'Fund') (NYSE: JOF) today announced that its Board of Directors (the 'Board') has approved two initiatives aimed at addressing the Fund's trading discount. These initiatives include a level distribution plan and a conditional tender offer. The Board believes these actions reflect the Fund's ongoing commitment to enhancing shareholder value, delivering competitive performance, and providing consistent distributions to long-term shareholders. The plan (the 'Plan') includes (i) implementation of a Level Distribution Plan (the 'LDP') to pay monthly distributions at a 10% annual rate to provide more of the Fund's total return in the form of distributions, and (ii) a conditional tender offer (the 'CTO') of 10% of its outstanding shares. Level Distribution Plan The Board has approved a Level Distribution Plan under which the Fund will pay monthly distributions at an annualized rate of 10% of the Fund's Net Asset Value ('NAV') as of May 31, 2025. The Fund is declaring a monthly distribution of $0.0887 per common share for each of July, August and September. The Fund's distribution details are as follows: Record Date Ex-Dividend Date Payment Date Distribution Amount July 15, 2025 July 15, 2025 July 31, 2025 $ 0.0887 August 15, 2025 August 15, 2025 August 29, 2025 $ 0.0887 September 15, 2025 September 15, 2025 September 30, 2025 $ 0.0887 The LDP is intended to provide shareholders with a constant, though not guaranteed, fixed rate of distribution each month. In approving the LDP, the Board considered, among other factors, the potential impact of the LDP as a tool to narrow the discount to NAV at which the Fund's shares have historically traded, the Fund's ability to sustain the LDP, and the possibility that making regular distributions could enhance liquidity for common shareholders and potentially attract new investors. Distributions will be made primarily in cash but under the Fund's dividend-reinvestment plan, distributions will be made in Fund shares unless a shareholder has elected to receive cash. Shares held with a broker-dealer will receive distributions in cash. Under the LDP, distributions may be derived from any combination of: (i) net investment income, (ii) realized capital gains, and/or (iii) a return of shareholder capital. The actual composition for each fiscal year will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV after year-end. Estimates provided in any monthly notice or in this press release are not intended for tax-reporting purposes and should not be relied upon as such. The Fund cannot predict what effect, if any, the LDP will have on the market price of its shares, or whether such market price will trade at a narrower or wider discount to NAV compared to levels prior to the Plan's adoption. Conditional Tender Offer In addition to the LDP, the Board approved a Conditional Tender Offer. The Fund will launch a tender offer for 10% of its outstanding shares, provided that the Fund's shares trade at an average daily market price discount of 9% or greater to NAV during the nine-month measurement period beginning on July 1, 2025 and ending on March 31, 2026 (the 'Measurement Period'). At the end of the Measurement Period, the Fund will announce additional details about the tender offer, as appropriate. In approving the CTO, the Board considered, among other factors, that a rules-based approach gives shareholders clear, time-bounded relief if the discount persists, the complementary nature of the CTO with the LDP, the reinforcement of the Fund's commitment to shareholder-friendly capital management, and the offer of meaningful liquidity to shareholders. There can be no guarantee that these benefits will occur or that any improvement will continue. The Board may terminate or modify the parameters of the Plan at any time without prior notice to the Fund's shareholders if circumstances warrant. The amendment or termination of the Plan could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund's common shares. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the LDP, the CTO, and other potential corporate actions, the Fund engaged an unaffiliated financial adviser with significant closed-end fund expertise. The professional fees associated with this limited-duration engagement will be borne by the Fund and are expected to result in a short-term increase in the Fund's expense ratio. Investment Outlook While overall earnings growth is expected to be higher in the United States, the Japanese market is expected to have growth rates comparable to the United States in most sectors besides the Industrials sector. Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd. ('NAM') believes Return on Equity ('ROE') is on an upward trend in Japan, supported by improvements in profit margins and revenue growth. NAM expects share buybacks and dividend increases will continue to raise the financial leverage. With ongoing corporate reforms, there is a potential for ROE to rise further. Japan remains one of the most attractive markets for individual stock selection due to a lack of coverage. Continued Focus on Long-Term Value Today's announcement represents the Fund's objective to deliver competitive performance and stable distributions to shareholders. The Board and Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. Inc. ('NAM-U.S.A.') remain committed to delivering long-term value creation and addressing the interests of our shareholders. About the Fund The Fund invests primarily in the securities of smaller capitalization companies in Japan and is designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation. The Manager of the Fund is NAM-U.S.A., which is based in New York. NAM-U.S.A. is a subsidiary of NAM, which is one of the largest investment advisory companies in Japan in terms of assets under management and serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. Forward Looking Statements Certain information discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Although the Fund and NAM-U.S.A. believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Fund and NAM-U.S.A. can give no assurance that their expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is subject to certain risks, trends, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
