OOK and TXF, State-Based Funds, ETFs to Reduce Fees to .20 Percent
OKLAHOMA CITY - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Geary Advisors, LLC, announced today that it is in the process of
reducing the fund fees for its two state-based exchange-traded funds OOK
and TXF. The advisor has agreed to reduce investment advisory management
fees and to reimburse other expenses to the extent the total annual fund
operating expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets, exceed
.20 percent. A reduction or reimbursement lowers the expense ratio.
"I believe these funds are an excellent way to invest in Oklahoma and
Texas companies, many related to the energy sector," said Keith Geary,
chairman of Geary Advisors. "We are in the process of lowering the
management fees in pursuit of competitive excellence. We feel we have a
great product and want these funds to be competitive with similar funds."
OOK and TXF are based on the SPADE Index, a modified market
capitalization weighted index that seeks to measure the performance of
publicly traded companies that are headquartered in or have significant
operations in Oklahoma and Texas.
At least 10 percent of the OOK and TXF management fees will go to
support Aaron's Bridge, an Oklahoma nonprofit organization working to
establish and provide more treatment options in Oklahoma and Texas for
children with developmental disabilities, including Autism Spectrum
Disorder.

OOK ETF and TXF ETF are new products with limited operating history. OOK
ETF and TXF ETF are distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc. ALPS
Distributors, Inc. and Geary Advisors, Inc. are unaffiliated entities.
Because OOK ETF and TXF ETF will invest substantially all of their
assets in the securities of companies that have their headquarters or
principal place of business located in Oklahoma and Texas, or that
generate a significant portion of their revenues in Oklahoma and Texas,
OOK ETF and TXF ETF will be subject to greater volatility as a result of
the events and conditions affecting Oklahoma and Texas, to a greater
extent than an ETF that did not focus its investments in this manner. An
investment in the OOK ETF or TXF ETF involves risks, including loss of
principle. Holdings are subject to change.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Index performance
does not reflect fund performance and investors cannot invest directly
in an index.
Companies in the energy business may be adversely affected by changes in
worldwide energy prices, exploration, production spending, government
regulation, changes in exchange rates and depletion of natural resources.
