New "passively active" ETF filed

It was inevitable: an active fund that declares it will hold similar components of an index.

Name: Wahed Dow Jones Islamic World ETF

Ticker: UMMA
Exchange: NASDAQ
Expense ratio: TBD
Original filing date: August 30, 2021
Effective date: November 15, 2021
Listing Date: TBD

CUSIP: TBD

Best of both worlds: securities research and selection outsourced, but discretionary control and flexibility in managing fund. 

Ticker is possible reference to "𝘜𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘩", commonly used to refer to the collective community of Islamic peoples.
