Empowered Funds Sets New Liquidation Timeline for Two Emerging Market ETFs
Investors in the Sophus Capital Emerging Market ETF and its Small Cap counterpart face a revised exit schedule, as Empowered Funds LLC confirmed new liquidation dates for October. The firm will shutter both Nasdaq-listed funds following a shift in the wind-down plan for the respective investment vehicles.
Shareholders retain the ability to sell their holdings through their brokerages prior to these dates, though liquidity may tighten as the final deadlines approach. Empowered Funds noted that as the funds move toward termination, their investment strategies may deviate from stated objectives to prioritize cash holdings. Once liquidated, the funds will distribute remaining cash pro rata to shareholders of record. These distributions are expected to trigger taxable events, and investors are encouraged to consult tax professionals regarding potential capital gains or losses. Following these final payouts, both funds will officially terminate.
