Horizon, a company offering tailored investment and technology solutions to financial advisors, is introducing two new actively managed ETFs:?Horizon Core Bond ETF?and?Horizon Flexible Income ETF?. This expansion continues the company’s growth in its fast-growing ETF family.

Both are structured to assist advisors in producing a steady income while managing risk using options overlays, a strategy that is growing in popularity due to interest rate uncertainty and volatile credit markets.

BNDY focuses on investment-grade fixed-income instruments across a range of maturities like government and corporate bonds, and adds put spread overlays to enhance return potential and buffer volatility. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.65%.

FLXN, on the other hand, ventures into the high-yield debt space, providing flexibility to adjust holdings based on market conditions, once more employing put spread overlays to cushion downside risk and maximize returns. The expense ratio for this fund is 0.80%.

The launch follows hot on the heels of three other ETF rollouts by Horizon just last week, Horizon Core Equity ETF , Horizon Dividend Income ETF , and Horizon Managed Risk ETF , bringing the firm’s ETF lineup to seven.

As fixed-income investing evolves, Horizon’s latest ETFs represent another step in providing advisers with more nimble and risk-conscious solutions in an increasingly complex market environment.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
