Esposito Securities, LLC (“Esposito”), a leading provider of ETF
seed capital and other key services to both the asset management

successful launch of the Aptus Defined Risk ETF (NYSE:DRSK), for
which Esposito provided initial seed capital.

“With DRSK, Aptus ETFs is continuing their mission to bring new
and improved ETFs to market,” said Mark Esposito, CEO of Esposito

excited about the opportunity to continue to work with Aptus over
the long term. The team at Aptus is a group of professionals we are
very fond of.”
“Our ultimate objective is to enhance outcomes through
innovative offerings. The Aptus Defined Risk ETF was built to solve
dampened return expectations and duration risk in the fixed income
space. We are providing a different perspective for fixed income
allocation and are excited for advisors to kick the tires as to why
that is. So far, the demand has been exciting,” said JD Gardner,
Founder and Managing Member, Aptus Capital Advisors.
Esposito Securities has played a major role in helping its ETF

well as seed capital, rebalance work-up and assistance, and

analytical reporting for all funds. Esposito also trades all listed
equity and index options.
