AOT Software Platform ETF to Liquidate Following Weak Demand
The AOT Software Platform ETF will cease operations and delist from the NYSE Arca exchange on August 19, 2026. Empowered Funds, LLC confirmed the decision to shutter the fund, citing a strategic review of investor demand that ultimately rendered the product unsustainable for the firm.

Following the final liquidation date, remaining assets will be distributed to shareholders of record on a pro rata basis. These distributions are expected to trigger taxable events, and the firm recommends that investors consult tax professionals regarding capital gains or losses. Once the final payments are issued, the fund will permanently terminate. PINE Distributors, LLC serves as the distributor for the ETF, while AOT Invest, LLC acts as the sub-adviser.
