International Equity ETF (FRGN), Small/Mid Cap Core Equity ETF (SMOX), and International Managed Risk ETF (SFTX) join the firm’s lineup of goals-based solutions, bringing the firm’s ETF lineup to 12 funds

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Horizon, a provider of highly customized investment and technology solutions designed to fuel the growth of financial advisors, has further expanded its lineup of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) with three new additions offering both domestic and international strategies designed to provide targeted exposure and enhanced risk management for clients navigating today’s dynamic markets.

All listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), launching today are:

Horizon International Equity ETF (FRGN): Seeks capital appreciation through a flexible approach that combines active management and quantitative models to allocate across developed and emerging markets. FRGN uses multi-factor analysis focused on value, momentum, quality, volatility, and sentiment to potentially capture diverse sources of return and enhances total return potential through the tactical use of put spreads¹;
Horizon Small/Mid Cap Core Equity ETF (SMOX): Also seeks capital appreciation via a combination of active management and quantitative models, investing in U.S. small- and mid-cap equities. The Fund employs a multi-factor approach using value, momentum, quality, volatility, and sentiment screens to potentially capture diverse return sources, and tactically uses put spreads to enhance total return potential; and
Horizon International Managed Risk ETF (SFTX): Aims to provide total return by investing in developed and emerging market equity securities while systematically adjusting exposure to limit downside risk. The Fund employs Horizon’s Risk Assist® framework, which dynamically reallocates a portion of assets into U.S. Treasury Securities or cash equivalents during periods of market volatility to help guard against large declines in the Fund’s portfolio.

These new solutions expand Horizon’s ETF suite to 12 funds, all of which were introduced in 2025.

“We’ve gone from zero to a dozen in less than a year, and we’re just getting started,” said Horizon’s Head of Product, Clark Allen, CFA®, CPA, CAIA®. “Each solution we build is based on direct feedback from financial advisors and the portfolio construction challenges they face. SFTX, SMOX, and FRGN are additional examples of outcome-oriented building blocks advisors can use to help clients pursue their financial goals.”

“These latest ETFs represent a continuation of Horizon’s relentless drive for innovation as we develop solutions that provide advisors freedom and flexibility in how they help their clients pursue what matters most,” said John Drahzal, President & CEO of Horizon. “I am deeply proud of our team and their work this year to bring 12 strategies to market.”

Investing involves risk, including potential loss of principal. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its objective. Investments in securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time, and the Fund’s investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or to individual fund holdings. Investments in Non-U.S. markets can be more volatile and less liquid than the U.S. market. The value of investments in fixed income securities and securities in which the underlying investments are fixed income securities are expected to fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Investments in options involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities, including leverage risk, tracking risk and, in the case of over the counter options, counterparty default risk. Option positions may expire worthless, exposing the Fund to potentially significant losses.

Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

¹A put spread is an options strategy involving the purchase and sale of two put options on the same asset with the same expiration date but different strike prices
