Themes ETFs Closing Three ETFs Due to Lack of Assets
September 16, 2026 | Press Release
GREENWICH, CT – September 16, 2026 – Due to their inability to attract sufficient investment
assets, the Board of Trustees of the Themes ETF Trust (the “Board”) has decided to liquidate and close three
ETFs (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Board concluded that liquidating and closing the Funds
would be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders.
The Funds closing are as follows:
Fund Name | Ticker | Exchange |
|---|---|---|
Themes US Cash Flow Champions ETF | LGCF | Nasdaq |
Themes US Small Cap Cash Flow Champions ETF | SMCF | Nasdaq |
Themes Lithium & Battery Metal Miners ETF | LIMI | Cboe |
The Funds will cease trading as of the close of regular trading on September 21, 2026 (the “Closing Date”) and will be closed to purchases by investors at that time. LGCF and SMCF will cease trading on Nasdaq, and LIMI will cease trading on Cboe. The Funds will not accept creation or redemption orders after September 18, 2026.
Shareholders may sell their holdings in any Fund prior to the Closing Date, and customary brokerage
charges may apply to these transactions. However, from the Closing Date through September 25, 2026 (the “Liquidation Date”), shareholders may only be able to sell their shares to certain broker-dealers,
and there is no assurance that there will be a market for a Fund’s shares during this period.
As the Funds prepare for liquidation, they will increase their cash holdings and reduce exposure to their underlying investments. Consequently, each Fund will no longer pursue its stated investment objective, which is inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategy.
On or about the Liquidation Date, each Fund will liquidate its assets and distribute cash on a pro rata
basis to shareholders who have not previously redeemed or sold their shares. The amount of the liquidating
distribution per share will be announced when it becomes available. These distributions are taxable events and
may include accrued capital gains and dividends. As calculated on the Liquidation Date, each Fund’s net asset
value will reflect the costs associated with closing the Fund. Once the distributions have been completed, the
Funds will terminate.
No dividend will be paid by the Funds prior to liquidation.
