DSPY is the First Innovation on the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index, Amid Peak Concentration

NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

Tema ETFs (“Tema”), a leader in institutional-quality and actively managed exchange-traded funds, today announced that its S&P 500 Historical Weight ETF Strategy (DSPY) surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), only 15 months after launch.¹ Launched April 1, 2025 with $1 million in seed capital, DSPY is the first and only passive innovation on S&P 500 Equal Weight Index and is priced 10% below its leading equal-weight alternative.

DSPY offers four notable points of differentiation:

• Strong 2026 Performance: DSPY gained +13.4% through June 30, outperforming both the cap-weighted S&P 500 Index (+10.2%) and the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (+12.1%).²
• Lower Tracking Error vs. the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index: DSPY's portfolio is constructed using the historical average weight of each position in the S&P 500 since 1989, maintaining more than 80% overlap with the index while avoiding the significant tracking error associated with equal-weight strategies.³
• Reduced Concentration vs. the S&P 500: DSPY reduced top-10 concentration from 38% in the cap-weighted S&P 500 to 22%.⁴
• Long-Term Index Outperformance: The S&P 500 Historical Weight Index that DSPY aims to track has outperformed the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index over the past 5, 10, 15, and 20 years.⁵

"DSPY was launched to help advisors address concentration risk without walking away from the S&P 500, which remains the global benchmark for U.S. innovation and corporate success," said Maurits Pot, Founder and CEO of Tema ETFs. "With concentration near record highs and an IPO pipeline of unprecedented scale poised to increase it further, DSPY allows investors to stay closely aligned with the S&P 500 while cutting their concentration risk nearly in half.⁴"

Risk Information

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.temaetfs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the adviser’s investment strategy will be successful.

Institutional-quality qualification is premised on the >90% estimated institutional adoption of Tema's funds to date as of Jun 30, 2026 and the institutional background and track record of Tema's investment team.

Large-Capitalization Risk: Returns on investments in securities of large companies could trail the returns on investments in securities of smaller and mid-sized companies. The securities of large-capitalization companies may also be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.
