New ETF platform led by industry veterans seeks to empower proven managers with institutional-quality distribution and execution.

Prospera Funds Inc., a newly formed asset management firm founded by veteran industry executive Michael Pierce, proudly announces its official launch, offering a full-service platform for launching and distributing actively managed ETFs.

Prospera Funds was created with a singular mission: to bring the strategies of highly successful but often under-distributed public & private fund managers to a broader investment audience through actively managed ETFs.

"We believe many of the best investment ideas in today’s market aren’t coming from Wall Street giants; they're sitting inside boutique shops, private funds, and family offices with limited distribution," said Michael Pierce, CEO of Prospera Funds Inc. “We aim to unlock that value, to empower exceptional managers with scalable public vehicles and the infrastructure to thrive.”

What Sets Prospera Funds Apart:

• Turnkey Infrastructure – Full integration with Thrive Series Trust for fund launches.
• Product Conversion Expertise – Proven operational track record of launching private fund strategies into publicly traded vehicles.
• Veteran Leadership – 100+ years of combined industry experience across portfolio management, operations, marketing, national accounts, and distribution.
• Dedicated Distribution Network – 18 seasoned wholesalers with deep national footprint.
• Sub-Advisor Enablement – Prospera provides the institutional and regulatory functions of the investment advisor, enabling seamless transitions for sub-advisors ready to go-to-market.

Prospera is more than a traditional asset manager. It’s a strategic platform built to partner with fund managers with strong performance but limited market access. By handling product structuring, compliance, fund operations, and distribution, Prospera enables its partners to focus on what they do best: investing.

Prospera’s funds will be distributed nationally through Maverick Fund Partners. Maverick has raised over $28 billion in AUM for boutique money managers since 2008 with its national network of RIAs, Independent Broker-Dealers & Wirehouses, such as UBS, Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo & Morgan Stanley.

“At Maverick, we specialize in helping innovative managers break through distribution barriers, and Prospera’s mission aligns perfectly with that vision,” said Jeff Robinson, Co-CEO of Maverick Fund Partners. “We’re proud to support the launch of Prospera’s funds and are excited to be their distribution partner.”
