What is LeagueShares?
LeagueShares, LLC is an exchange-traded fund issuer formed to bring sports performance benchmarks into regulated, exchange-listed funds.
In plain terms, that means ETFs tied to how professional sports teams perform over a season. Take hockey for example: FutureSports Performance Indexes for NHL teams are the concrete benchmarks named in public CME materials for the first scheduled sports index futures. That worked example doesn't freeze the category as hockey-only. LeagueShares announced its formation on 26 August 2026 via GlobeNewswire and is based in Burlington, Vermont.
The category stack is a team or athlete performance index (for example, a FutureSports Performance Index), cash-settled index futures on a CFTC-designated contract market that reference that benchmark, and ETF wrappers that would reference those benchmarks if and when a registration statement is declared effective.
Its subsidiary, LeagueShares Advisors, LLC, is the investment adviser named in 2 post-effective amendments to the Form N-1A registration statement of Hillman Capital Management Investment Trust, filed 25 August 2026 under the LeagueShares Sports ETF Trust prospectus name. The amendments are on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and aren't yet effective.
Neither registration statement has been declared effective, so no LeagueShares fund exists to buy today and no securities are being offered. Any future fund would be described in its own registration statement.
What does "sports performance" mean here?
"Sports performance" here refers to indexes built from publicly reported game statistics and administered by an independent index administrator. It doesn't refer to ownership of a team, or to shares of companies in the sports industry or esports.
What is on file with the SEC?
Two post-effective amendments on Form N-1A (form type 485APOS) were filed 25 August 2026 by the registrant Hillman Capital Management Investment Trust (CIK 1122649; 1933 Act file 333-44568, 1940 Act file 811-10085) under the LeagueShares Sports ETF Trust prospectus name. Accession numbers are 0001999371-26-018659 and 0001999371-26-018661.
The amendments are on file with the SEC and aren't yet effective. Read them on EDGAR as preliminary prospectuses, subject to completion. Hillman Capital Management Investment Trust is the EDGAR registrant of record, not a consumer brand for these funds.
