Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (Ticker: HGER), Subadvised by Quantix Commodities, Surpasses $2 Billion in Assets

Harbor Capital Advisors, Inc. ("Harbor"), the asset manager that curates a select suite of predominantly actively managed ETFs, mutual funds, and collective investment trusts, announced that the Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF (Ticker: HGER) has passed the $2 billion mark in assets.

“HGER, which achieved the milestone shortly after reaching its 4-year anniversary, is designed to provide a more effective way of gaining commodities exposure,” said Kristof Gleich, President and CIO at Harbor Capital Advisors.

“We have been advocating that advisors consider a 10%+ allocation to commodities, specifically the Harbor Commodity All-Weather Strategy ETF,” he said. “For decades, allocators sought to do the right thing for clients by adding commodity exposure, yet traditional commodity indices delivered disappointing results. We believe these traditional commodity indices were built to serve commodity producers—not investor portfolios.

“According to our research as of February 2026, we have seen stock-bond correlations shift into positive territory, turning bonds from a portfolio ballast into a potential source of correlated risk. In this environment, we believe thoughtful commodity exposure matters more than ever. Commodities may no longer be just a side dish—they could merit a more central role in portfolios given the current market regime. In a world of persistent inflation forces and tighter inventories, being bold with commodity exposure may be more tactical than structural,” Gleich said.

Gleich continued, “A little over a year ago, we partnered with Quantix Commodities with a simple but bold goal: Become the new benchmark for commodities investing and lead the space. While we still have much work ahead, I’d say more advisors and investors are seeing the compelling reasons why we believe a significant allocation to HGER makes sense.”

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.

All investments involve risk including the possible loss of principal.

Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.

There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund 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 non-diversified 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: The Fund 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.
