Now available are:
Horizon Core Bond ETF (BNDY): Aiming to provide current income consistent with low principal volatility, BNDY invests primarily in investment-grade fixed-income securities with varying maturities, including government and corporate bonds. The Fund also employs put spread overlays to enhance return potential and introduce a layer of risk-managed exposure to market volatility.
Horizon Flexible Income ETF (FLXN): This fund is designed to seek current income. FLXN primarily focuses on opportunities in high-yield fixed-income securities while maintaining flexibility to tactically allocate based on evolving market conditions. It also employs put spread overlays to enhance return potential and manage downside risk.
Today's launches come shortly after the firm introduced three other ETFs last week, bringing its total number of ETFs to seven.
'My colleagues and I are thrilled to be announcing today's launches as we continue to build out our ETF solutions,' said John Drahzal, President & CEO of Horizon. 'The financial advisors we work with have asked for active strategies that support their clients' income needs amidst complex interest rate and credit environments. BNDY and FLXN reflect our commitment to supporting those advisors by offering income strategies that go beyond traditional bonds and aim to deliver more consistent outcomes.'
'Advisors have the choice to be passive or to be precise as they look at their clients' core bond exposures,' said Horizon's Head of ETFs Clark Allen, CFA ®, CPA, CAIA ®. 'With BNDY and FLXN, we believe we're providing innovative tools that help advisors meet today's challenges. We're very excited to be adding these new funds to our roster and for the future plans we have to expand our ETF offerings.'

Investing involves risk, including potential loss of principal. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its objective. Investments in securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time, and the Fund's investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or to individual fund holdings. The value of investments in fixed income securities and securities in which the underlying investments are fixed income securities are expected to fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Investments in options involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities, including leverage risk, tracking risk and, in the case of over the counter options, counterparty default risk. Option positions may expire worthless exposing the Fund to potentially significant losses.
Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Horizon ETFs are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.

CEA's Broader Expansion Into Italy Opens a New Chapter of China-Italy Aviation Cooperation
MILAN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--China Eastern Airlines (CEA) held a promotional event in Milan, Italy on July 3, 2025, for its new direct Milan-Shanghai route. CEA Chairman Mr. Wang Zhiqing attended and addressed at the event. "This new route is not merely an aerial bridge connecting two great cities," said Mr. Wang. "It also embodies both Chinese and Italian people's aspirations for further exchanges and cooperation. We strive to provide convenient, efficient, and comfortable services and make every flight more enjoyable." During his visit to Italy, Mr. Wang had high-level meetings with key representatives from the Italian aviation industry. Among them were Mr. Salvatore Burrafato, President of GEStione Aeroporto Palermo S.p.A., Mr. Armando Brunini, CEO of Società Esercizi Aeroportuali S.p.A., and Mr. Luigi Battuello, CCO of Società Esercizi Aeroportuali S.p.A. The meetings focused on operational support for new routes, joint marketing campaigns, and collaborative backing for passenger and cargo transportation. Mr. Wang specially invited the Italian partners to attend the North Bund International Aviation Forum to be held in Shanghai this October, to lay out a blueprint for future China–Italy civil aviation cooperation. Apart from commercial cooperation, the trip also prioritizes cultural exchange. Mr. Wang met with Mr. Massimo Bray, Italian Coordinator of China-Italy Cultural Cooperation Mechanism and General Manager of the Treccani Institute. By common consent, they would collaboratively and innovatively integrate culture and aviation by hosting cultural exhibitions at airports and on board, developing unique cultural tourist routes, facilitating youth exchanges between the two nations, and offering professional support for cross-border transportation of valuable artworks. Then, they witnessed the signing of an MoU between CEA and Treccani Institute, marking a new stage in the collaboration between both bodies. CEA inaugurated two new direct flight routes between China and Italy on September 26, 2024, as part of their "Air Silk Road" expansion: Venice–Shanghai and Milan–Xi'an. Now, therefore, CEA operates five direct routes between China and Italy: from Rome, Milan, and Venice to Shanghai; Milan to Xi'an; and Rome to Wenzhou. The weekly two-way flights between China and Italy have been raised to 46, which has fostered greater economic, trade, cultural, and people-to-people exchanges between the two nations.
