In the final trading days of 2022, only three ETFs debuted on the market, alongside a slew of changes announced or completed for existing products.

Among the launches was Friday’s debut of the [Pinnacle Focused Opportunities ETF (FCUS)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1924868/000138713122012803/pinn_497k-122822.htm) on the NYSE Arca. The actively managed fund invests according to a proprietary model that considers market signals when allocating its portfolio among equities, bonds, cash and Treasury securities. It rebalances the portfolio according to the model’s underlying algorithms on a monthly basis, the prospectus says.

FCUS comes with an expense ratio of 0.81%.

The [Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF (BOXX)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1592900/000182912622020370/easeries-boxx_497k.htm) rolled out on Wednesday with an expense ratio of 0.195%. The fund looks to provide investors with a cash management tool that offers returns that match or exceed the performance of 1-to-3 month Treasury bills using a box spread options strategy. It looks to maintain a risk profile that reflects that of Treasury bills while giving investors greater tax efficiency, according to the Alpha Architect website.

**Closures**

There was closure activity during the week, with the [ETFMG 2x Daily Alternative Harvest ETF (MJXL)](https://www.etf.com/mjxl) closing on Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, six iPath ETNs were called and are as follows:

- [Pacer iPath Gold ETN (GBUG)](https://www.etf.com/gbug)
- [iPath S&amp;P MLP ETN (IMLP)](https://www.etf.com/imlp)

- [iPath Silver ETN (SBUG)](https://www.etf.com/sbug)
- [iPath Women in Leadership ETN (WIL)](https://www.etf.com/wil)

Another launch was announced for next year. The [Qraft AI-Enhanced U.S. High Dividend ETF (HDIV)](https://www.etf.com/hdiv) is expected to see its last day of trading on or around Jan. 20, with liquidation expected to follow shortly after.

**Other Changes**

Several funds made changes to their expense ratios during the week.

As of Dec. 28, the following expense ratio changes became effective:

- [iShares MSCI Russia (ERUS)](https://www.etf.com/erus) ETF from 0.57% to 0.08%

Although ERUS is effectively closed, the fund has not yet been liquidated, so investors still in the fund are still paying to hold it but cannot exit ERUS as it is no longer trading.
