Chicago, IL — On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, Sound Capital Solutions rang the closing bell at Cboe Global Markets, marking a proud moment on the trading floor of one of the world’s leading exchange operators. The ceremony brought members of our team to the Cboe podium to mark the close of the trading day and to recognize our ongoing role in the exchange-traded fund market.
A Milestone Moment
Ringing the closing bell is a long-standing exchange tradition that signals the end of the trading day. Exchanges often invite issuers, fund sponsors, and advisory partners to take part as a way to mark notable steps in their work, from new product launches to fund listings. For the firms behind those funds, a moment on the floor connects the quiet, technical work of building an ETF to the public market where it ultimately trades. As more clients decide to list on the exchange, Cboe highlighted Sound’s team at the closing bell ceremony.
Cboe Global Markets, headquartered in Chicago, traces its roots to the Chicago Board Options Exchange and stands among the largest exchange operators worldwide. It is a significant venue for ETF listing and trading. Standing on its floor places Sound Capital within the ecosystem we serve every day, working alongside the asset managers, advisors, and service providers who support funds across their lifecycle.
Why It Matters for the Firms We Serve
As an institutional ETF advisory firm, we guide wealth managers, asset owners, and RIAs through the structural, regulatory, and go-to-market work of bringing exchange-traded funds to market. In practice, that means helping a manager choose a fund structure, select and coordinate the service providers a fund depends on, prepare regulatory filings, and plan how the fund will reach investors after it lists. Our role centers on a single principle: one size does not fit all. We match each client with the right structure, service providers, and strategy for their situation through our white-label ETF services and advisory support.
For firms weighing their first launch, our ETF consulting process sets out clear steps from concept through listing and ongoing management. For managers reorganizing existing portfolios, 351 conversions offer a tax-deferred path from separately managed accounts into an ETF structure. New issuers who want to understand the full path can review our guidance on how to start an ETF.
A Word From Our Team
We cannot thank the team at Cboe enough for the honor of ending the trading day by ringing the closing bell! Sound Capital’s open architecture continues to serve in the best interest of our clients, and we look forward to the continued expansion of our partnership at the exchange.

Moments like this reflect the relationships and experience behind our work. As the ETF market continues to grow, we remain focused on helping issuers bring well-structured funds to market with clarity and confidence. To learn more about how we support ETF issuers, explore our ETF solutions.
