The Milwaukee Company Launches Two Tactical Asset Allocation ETFs
PRESS RELEASE • JAN 22, 2024
THIENSVILLE, Wis., January 22, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Milwaukee Company (TMC), a Wisconsin investment firm, today announced the launch of two systematic asset allocation exchange traded fund-of-funds.
The Brinsmere Fund – Growth ETF (TBFG) and The Brinsmere Fund – Conservative ETF (TBFC) invest globally across multiple asset classes. They began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16, 2024. Both funds utilize analytics developed by TMC, with a goal of generating strong risk-adjusted performance through time relative to comparable, passively managed fund of funds.
The Brinsmere Fund – Growth ETF (TBFG) and its counterpart, The Brinsmere Fund – Conservative ETF (TBFC), are fund-of-funds that seek to invest in low-cost, index-tracking equity and bond ETFs targeting specific market segments. The pair of actively managed ETFs use a combination of two distinctive, rules-based asset allocation strategies run independently.
“The Brinsmere ETFs provide the investing public with access to the same academically sound, rules-based portfolio management strategies that we have successfully used for many years to manage brokerage accounts for our high-net-worth client base,” says Andrew Willms, president and chief executive officer of The Milwaukee Company. “They allow us to utilize these strategies in a tax-advantaged manner, as compared to separately managed accounts.”
“The Brinsmere Funds seek to reduce risk and enhance performance by adjusting asset allocation based on its risk assessment, as determined by a set of proprietary indicators,” explains Shrey Patel, senior portfolio manager at The Milwaukee Company. “The rules-based investment strategies used by the Brinsmere Funds are founded in the belief that investment strategies directed by academic research and supported by historical evidence produce better long-term results than those that rely heavily on personal judgments and ad-hoc predictions.”
Each ETF charges a management fee of just 35 basis points. The total expense ratio for TBFG is 42 basis points and 41 basis points for TBFC.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Funds will meet or maintain their objective. To the extent the Funds investments are concentrated in or have significant exposure to a particular issuer, sector industry or asset class, the Funds may be more vulnerable to adverse events affecting these groups than if the Funds investments were more broadly diversified.
Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market returns are based on the official closing price from the Exchange and do not represent the return you would receive if you traded at other times. NAV (net asset value) is the dollar value of a single share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, which is calculated at the end of each business day. The market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV), an active secondary market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact an ETF’s ability to sell its shares. Share of an ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. Brokerage commissions will further reduce returns.
