CINCINNATI, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ultimus Fund Solutions® (Ultimus®), a premier provider of technology-powered post-trade administration services for public and private funds and outsourced investment operations, today announces an expansion of its long-standing partnership with Donoghue Forlines. In addition to continuing administration services for Donoghue’s mutual funds and variable insurance trusts (VITs), Ultimus has extended its scope to include servicing the DF Tactical 30 ETF (NYSE Arca: DFTT), which launched on November 11, 2025.

The DF Tactical 30 ETF seeks to track the DF Risk-Managed Tactical Top 30 Index, a rules-based strategy that selects the 30 highest-momentum stocks from the 100 largest US companies by market capitalization. Holdings are weighted by market cap and momentum score, and the portfolio is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly. The fund also incorporates a tactical overlay designed to shift assets into short-term Treasuries during periods of sustained market weakness, with the goal of managing downside risk while maintaining long-term growth potential. The fund trades on NYSE Arca under the ticker DFTT with a net expense ratio of 0.70%.

To support the ETF’s launch, Ultimus provided comprehensive onboarding guidance, drawing on its experience across the ETF industry to assist with regulatory compliance, operational workflows, and a structured launch process.

Jeffrey Thompson, President and CEO of Donoghue Forlines, stated, “Ultimus has been a trustworthy and experienced partner, guiding us through the successful implementation of our new investment structure. Their support allows us to continue delivering innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our investors.”

Kevin Wolf, EVP, Head of Client Strategies at Ultimus, commented, “Our decade-long relationship with the Donoghue team reflects the nature of how we do business, acting as an extension of our clients’ team and supporting new product launches. As ETFs become integral to modern portfolios, we remain dedicated to helping asset managers bring these products to market efficiently.”
