Red Gate Advisers Selects Vident Investment Advisory as Sub-advisor for new fund to launch 1Q21

 

CHADDS FORD, PA – Red Gate Advisers, LLC (“RGA”), is proud to announce its selection of Vident Investment Advisory (“VIA”) as a sub-advisor to the Stance Equity ESG Large Cap Core ETF (the “Fund”), to assist with portfolio management and trading utilizing Blue Tractor’s Shielded Alpha℠ ETF wrapper. Expected to launch in 2021, the Fund will be administered by The RBB Fund, Inc. (“RBB”), a series trust whose lower cost, and high service levels offers RGA a best-in-class platform.

 

“We are excited to partner with VIA to implement the Blue Tractor cloud-based technology platform, which safeguards Stance Capital’s intellectual property and trading strategy,” said Craig Urciuoli, Co-Founder and President of Red Gate Advisers. “The experience, depth and breadth of the entire team at Vident is impressive, and we have confidence in their ability to help preserve alpha for shareholders.”

 

VIA is a leading sub-advisory service provider who currently partners with close to 20 Advisors, including some of the largest asset managers in the United States. VIA’s business has experienced significant asset growth through the first 3 quarters of 2020, with assets totaling over $5.5 billion, as of October 31, 2020, including passive and active ETF strategies, UCITs vehicles, separately managed accounts, and private funds.

 

“We are very excited to be working with Stance Capital and RGA in bringing this new fund to market,” said Amrita Nandakumar, President of VIA. “This fund will be a compelling new addition to the investment landscape and will be among the first to take advantage of Blue Tractor’s technology. It will require just the type of specialized expertise we at VIA are able to offer to active managers interested in bringing their approaches to the ETF space.”
