Harbor Capital Advisors to Migrate Three ETFs to NYSE from NYSE Arca
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. (“Harbor”), a premier multi-manager investment firm offering access to specialized expertise across a range of investment strategies and vehicles, today announced that they will be transferring the following ETFs to the NYSE, effective January 2, 2023.
- Harbor All-Weather Inflation Focus ETF (HGER)
- Harbor Dividend Growth Leaders ETF (GDIV)
- Harbor Long-Term Growers ETF (WINN)
The Funds will all keep the same ticker symbols. Additionally, the trading of the funds and the funds’ shareholders are not anticipated to be impacted during the transfer. Shareholders are not required to take any action in connection with the listing transfer.
HGER seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Quantix Inflation Index (QII). HGER is designed to provide investors with a dynamic, all-weather and diversified inflation hedge through exposure to the QII.
GDIV seeks long-term growth of capital, using a dividend growth approach. This approach offers access to companies that we believe have the potential for increasing dividend payments—reinvested dividends have historically driven a significant portion of stock market returns. Through its investment process, GDIV also seeks to deliver upside market participation with limited downside risk for investors.
WINN seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in large-and mid-capitalization companies, primarily in the U.S., that have compelling prospects for long-term growth and generate strong returns for shareholders. WINN’s investment strategy seeks to exploit market inefficiencies by investing in companies with underappreciated multi-year structural growth opportunities.
“We are absolutely thrilled to have HGER, GDIV, and WINN move to the NYSE in January,” Steve Cook, Head of ETFs at Harbor Capital Advisors stated. “This migration represents Harbor’s and NYSE’s unwavering commitment to an exceptional investment and execution experience. Harbor has a tradition of superior due diligence, and we believe the NYSE bringing more human intervention and oversight with the Designated Market Maker (DMM) system back into the experience is a tremendous step forward for ETF traders and shareholders,” added Cook.
“We’re excited to welcome three Harbor ETFs to the iconic New York Stock Exchange floor,” said Douglas Yones, Head of Exchange Traded Products at the NYSE. “The NYSE’s floor-based model combines industry-leading technology and human judgment to help reduce volatility and narrow spreads.”
To celebrate these ETFs migrating, Harbor will be participating in NYSE’s Closing Bell ceremony on January 3, 2023.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a Harbor fund before investing. To obtain a summary prospectus or prospectus for this and other information, visit harborcapital.com or call 800-422-1050. Read it carefully before investing.
There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Funds will be achieved. Stock markets are volatile and equity values can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic conditions. A nondiversified Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer, and/or invest in a relatively small number of issuers. It is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio.
Commodity Risk: HGER has exposure to commodities through its and/or the Subsidiary’s investments in commodity linked derivative instruments. Authorized Participant Concentration/Trading Risk: Only authorized participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. Commodity- Linked Derivatives Risk: The Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments (either directly or through the Subsidiary) and the tracking of an Index comprised of commodity futures may subject the Fund to significantly greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
The Quantix Inflation Index (“QII”) is designed to deliver superior inflation protection and outperformance to traditional commodity indices, particularly in inflationary environments.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.
Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (NAV). Market price returns are based upon the closing composite market price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
