Strive also announced that DRLL is now officially available on 25 different brokerage platforms, including recent additions such as Stifel, Raymond James, and Oppenheimer, along with Fidelity, Schwab, E-Trade, and others.“Everyday citizens are delivering a powerful message to American energy companies: It’s time to drill, frack, and do whatever else is necessary to succeed without apologizing for it,” said Vivek Ramaswamy, executive chairman of Strive Asset Management. “We hope to unlock the potential of the U.S. energy sector by mandating U.S. energy companies to focus exclusively on excellence over social agendas imposed by ESG-linked asset managers."
Jeff Nye, head of distribution and wealth management at Strive, added, “Broker-dealers told us they added DRLL to their platform because financial professionals and individual investors alike demanded it. Our mission is to represent the everyday citizen, and it’s gratifying to hear that our message is resonating with them.”
Over its first two weeks, DRLL’s average trade size was $4,137 per trade, compared to an average trade size of $364,000 for other 2022 ETF launches that have generated over $200 million in assets under management in their first two weeks. Strive has also received over 211,000 visits to its websites since DRLL launched on August 9, 2022.
