“Disruptive technologies are forcing change, transforming business and the global economy at an unprecedented speed, and in some areas may alter the way entire industries operate,” said Bruce Bond, Chief Executive Officer of Innovator Capital Management. “The Innovator Loup Frontier Tech ETF (LOUP) provides a convenient way for investors to access disruptive companies across five key technological sub-themes, and broad exposure to the next wave of technology innovation.”

“As opposed to narrow exposures limited to a particular industry-vertical like robotics, artificial intelligence, or autonomous vehicles, the Loup Frontier Tech Index seeks to track a wide range of disruptive frontier technologies,” said Gene Munster, Managing Partner at Loup Ventures. “We are a research-driven venture capital firm focused on frontier technologies. From this vantage point, we attain insights across a wide domain of innovations to select highly disruptive companies that we believe will collectively lead the next major technological revolution.”

The Innovator Loup Frontier Tech ETF (LOUP) is based upon the technologies deemed most likely to disrupt consumer and enterprise businesses over the next several decades, and most relevant to the frontier technology investment focus.
