Adaptive Fixed Income ETF: Trend Following Fixed Income (TFFI)

Making Fixed Income Matter Again by Adapting to All Interest Rate Environments

The Chesapeake Trend Following Fixed Income ETF (TFFI) strives to accomplish this by applying repeatable systematic investing rules to invest both long and short across four areas of the fixed income asset class:

  • Sovereign duration
  • Short-term rates
  • Credit and spread products
  • Inflation-sensitive and hybrid fixed income

TFFI’s broad global exposure and long/short flexibility allows the ETF to adjust to all market cycles and interest rate environments.

Seeks to Solve the Drawbacks of Other Fixed Income Strategies

Minimal portfolio drag during inflationary environments

Long/short flexibility allows for significant long positions during strong bond markets like 2020 but can adapt to take advantage of inflationary environments like 2022

Non-correlated returns

Seeks to make a 60/40 portfolio more resilient by providing zero to low (and sometimes negative) correlation to both equities and other long-only fixed income funds due to its ability to go long, short, or neutral across fixed income

Optimized for behavioral finance

Repeatable investing rules maintain discipline during sustained rate environments, and the application to the full spectrum of global fixed income provides flexibility to make significant allocations to stronger areas during all market cycles – a combination that removes emotion from the decision-making process, helps clients stay invested, and can lessen performance drag

The inception date is 02/23/2026.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The market price is the final price at which a security is traded on a given trading day. Net asset value (NAV) is value per share on a specific date or time. Returns less than one year are cumulative. The 30-day median bid/ask spread is a calculation expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth. It is computed by: identifying the ETF's national best bid and national best offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days, dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer, and identifying the median of those values.
