The company recently launched the Thornburg Premium Income Builder ETF (NYSE: THOR), which now trades on the New York Stock Exchange. This new exchange-traded fund (ETF) aims to deliver both income and long-term capital growth for investors.

This launch is part of Thornburg's growing ETF platform, which has accumulated over $750 million in assets in just 18 months.
