Anduril Added as Top Holding in Tema International Defense ETF (ARMY)

ARMY Offers Scarce Access to Leading Private Defense Innovator.

NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tema ETFs (“Tema”), a leader in actively managed exchange-traded funds, today announced that Anduril has been added as the top position in the Tema International Defense ETF (ARMY). As of the date of this release, Anduril represents 14.5% of ARMY’s net assets, and Tema intends to maintain the company as a top holding in the fund. Holdings are subject to change.

Tema is the first ETF issuer to offer pre-IPO exposure to four of the most sought-after private companies shaping their industries: Anduril (ARMY), Anthropic (LAZR), Kalshi (TOLL), and previously SpaceX (NASA).¹

ARMY invests in international defense and modern warfare companies. The fund is the first institutionally managed defense ETF developed in research partnership with Agency Partners, a leading defense research boutique whose team brings more than three decades of industry experience.

“ARMY was designed to deliver exposure to leading defense companies benefiting from the secular, global rearmament trend,” said Maurits Pot, Founder and CEO of Tema ETFs. “Anduril has emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most innovative companies in defense, transforming modern warfare as countries embrace new technologies to address growing security threats."

Exposure to Anduril, Anthropic, and Kalshi is delivered through a special purpose vehicle (SPV), an established means of investing in private companies. ARMY does not charge any incremental management fee, performance fee, or brokerage fee on the Anduril exposure.

Risk Information 

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.temaetfs.com/ARMY. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. 
  
Diversification does not ensure profits or prevent losses. 
  
Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the fund's investment strategy will be successful.  

Sector Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors than funds that have more diversified holdings across a number of sectors. The Fund anticipates that it may be subject to some or all of the risks described below. 

Special Purpose Vehicles and Private Company Risk: SPVs and private company ownership have increased liquidity and valuation risk. These risks may make it difficult for those securities to be traded or valued, especially in the event of adverse economic and liquidity conditions or adverse changes in the issuer’s financial condition. The market for certain non-exchange traded securities may be limited to institutional investors, subjecting such investments to further liquidity risk if a market were to limit institutional trading. There may also be less information available regarding such non-exchange traded securities than for publicly traded securities, which may make it more difficult for the Adviser to fully evaluate the risks of investing in such securities and as a result place the Fund’s assets at greater risk of loss than if the Adviser had more complete information. In addition, the issuers of non-exchange traded securities may be distressed, insolvent, or delinquent in filing information needed to be listed on an exchange. Disposing of non-exchange traded securities, including privately placed securities, may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and selling them promptly at an acceptable price may be difficult or impossible. Securities purchased in private placements may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Please see https://temaetfs.com/ARMY for more information.
