Exemptive relief and the April ETF share launch.

The offerings launched in April, expanding the roster of Thornburg ETFs that today have more than $860 million in assets. Thornburg's own April 1, 2026 announcement stated that the two actively managed ETF share classes began trading that day. The firm said the listings made it one of the first firms to offer actively managed ETF share classes of mutual funds and the first to list them on Nasdaq. Thornburg said it received ETF share-class exemptive relief earlier in 2026 and subsequently filed to add ETF share classes to the Thornburg American Opportunities Fund and Thornburg Focus Growth Fund. Thornburg CEO Mark Zinkula said at the time that extending the mutual funds into ETF share classes underscored the firm's commitment to meeting evolving client demand with actively managed, high-conviction strategies grounded in fundamental research. Thornburg launched its first active ETFs in January 2025, and its ETF platform had grown to over $600 million in assets by the April announcement. As of March 31, 2026, the firm oversaw $57 billion in assets, a figure that includes $56 billion in assets under management and $1 billion in assets under advisement.
