Sequoia ETF

After careful deliberation, we are evolving our Sequoia strategy into an active exchange traded fund (“ETF”). The Sequoia ETF has been established to receive the portfolio assets of Sequoia Fund Inc., our registered mutual fund, and of any taxable clients with separately managed accounts (SMAs) following the Sequoia strategy and choosing to participate.

Participation in the ETF conversion will be required for investors in our mutual fund (assuming a successful shareholder vote), but optional for SMA clients of our Sequoia strategy. Sequoia ETF (NYSE: SEQ) is due to go live in late 2026.

A special ETF Q&A Session will be held during breakfast at our Investor Day on May 14, 2026 at the Times Center in New York. Register here to attend.

For those that cannot attend in person, we will host a Q&A Session via Zoom on June 10, 2026 at 10:00am EDT. Click here to join the Zoom Session.
