NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasdaq announced that Tuttle Tactical Management will list a new exchange-traded product (ETP), Tuttle Tactical Management U.S. Core ETF (Symbol: TUTT), which will begin trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market today.

"We've developed TUTT to reassure investors that their personal needs in the marketplace are protected," said Matthew Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer and Portfolio Manager at Tuttle Tactical Management, LLC. "TUTT gives investors the opportunity for capital appreciation over the long term, while offering safeguards striving to protect portfolios from downturns."

The tactical nature of TUTT's objective is a pre-determined, active strategy that responds to market indicators rather than attempts to use them as predictors of market direction. Under normal market conditions, TUTT will invest no less than 80% of its total assets in shares of ETPs listed on U.S. exchanges. The total annual fund operating expenses will be 1.34%. Tuttle Tactical Management, LLC, the Fund's investment sub-adviser, manages the assets using a tactical approach.

"We are thrilled to list TUTT with our partners at Tuttle Tactical Management," said Jeff McCarthy, Vice President, Head of ETP Listings at Nasdaq. "We are committed to increasing the value of our partnership by continuing to fuel innovation in the listing and trading of exchange-traded products."

Nasdaq operates an efficient platform for successfully introducing a product suite into one of the single largest pools of liquidity, including market participants which represent a full spectrum of investors. ETP issuers benefit from an end-to-end solution that provides ongoing product support including index licensing, listings opportunities, data offerings and trading services. As the home to some of the world's most innovative ventures, Nasdaq generates opportunities for issuers to access new markets and deliver new concepts that change the way the industry develops, manages and applies ETPs.
