Thirty-one new tickers hit NYSE Arca, Nasdaq, Cboe, and a brand-new exchange this week. The Texas Stock Exchange opened for ETF listings, T. Rowe Price added three active funds in one go, and Corgi rolled out its latest nine-fund buffer series.

Here’s how the 31 tickers break down by theme:

A New Exchange Enters the Game

The Texas Stock Exchange opened its doors to ETF listings this week, and two funds made history there. Westwood Holdings launched PWRX (Westwood Salient Enhanced Power & Infrastructure ETF) on September 17, the first brand-new ETF ever listed on TXSE. It’s an actively managed fund targeting power generation, grid infrastructure, and data-center buildout, paired with a covered-call overlay for income. A few days later, Calamos brought CTAG (Calamos Timpani Active SMID Growth ETF) to the exchange, the first active mutual-fund-to-ETF conversion on TXSE. Worth flagging: CTAG isn’t new money, it’s an existing mutual fund strategy moved into an ETF wrapper.

Infrastructure Gets Another Backer

River1 Asset Management launched BUIL (Rebuild America ETF) on September 16, backed by an anchor investment from the Michels family office, one of the largest privately held infrastructure companies in the US. It targets roughly 15 to 25 companies across power, grid, construction, and data-center buildout, the same theme driving PWRX above.

T. Rowe Price Triples Down

T. Rowe Price added three new active equity ETFs the same week: TSEE (Small Cap ETF), TMID (Mid Cap Equity Research ETF), and TDNA (Biotech ETF). Together they round out T. Rowe’s active equity shelf across market caps and one specific sector bet on biotech.

AI and Robotics Hardware

AICH (China AI ETF) and KCHP (KICK Korea Semiconductor Index ETF) both target AI-adjacent hardware and software outside the US. HUMM (800VDC AI Datacenter Ecosystem ETF) stays domestic, tracking the power and cooling infrastructure that AI data centers actually run on, a narrower slice than a typical “AI stocks” fund. Defiance launched AT (Robotics Actuators ETF), which Defiance says is the first US-listed ETF dedicated purely to actuator makers, the companies building the motors, gearboxes, and encoders that let a robot’s joints actually move. Defiance points to McKinsey estimates that actuators account for 40% to 60% of a humanoid robot’s bill of materials.

International and Global Equity

JINT (Janus Henderson International Core Alpha ETF), IQGR (Astoria International Quality Growth Kings ETF), and XUSM (MarketDesk International Momentum ETF) all target stocks outside the US, each with its own screen: alpha-seeking, quality-growth, and momentum, respectively.

Munis and Bonds

BSMA (Invesco BulletShares 2036 Municipal Bond ETF) extends Invesco’s defined-maturity muni ladder out to 2036. NUIB (Nuveen Impact Bond ETF) adds an impact-investing angle to fixed income, screening for measurable social or environmental outcomes alongside yield.

Structured Income, Several Ways

SALI (Schroders US Autocallable Ladder Income ETF) ladders autocallables the same way Pacer and Metaurus did last week. DQSE (FT Vest Nasdaq-100 Dual Directional Buffer ETF) and QQBF (FT Vest Nasdaq 100 Quarterly 15 Buffer ETF) both offer defined-outcome exposure to the Nasdaq-100 with different buffer and timing mechanics; neither has a mutualfunds.com page yet. Tuttle Capital launched PCPC (Porter & Company Property & Casualty Index ETF), which ranks insurance companies by underwriting quality (their combined ratio) instead of market cap, a rare fundamentals-first spin on a sector fund.

A Nine-Fund Buffer Series From Corgi

Corgi, the newer AI-driven ETF issuer, listed its September Series of structured buffer ETFs, confirmed via Cboe’s listing certification: CSEP, CTSE, SEPC, HSEP, QSE, QQSE, SCSE, IDSE, and EMSE. Each targets a different asset class, from broad US equities to small caps to international and emerging markets, with a downside buffer that resets annually. It’s the same monthly cadence Corgi has run since May, just with a new batch of underlying exposures.

Rounding Out the List

CGFS (CG Flagship Equity ETF) and LPSV (Lone Peak SMID Value ETF) add two more active equity options without a clear thematic tie to the rest of the week. Main Management launched SECA (Main Active Rotation ETF) on September 18, notable less for its tactical rotation strategy and more for its structure: it’s Main’s first ETF brought to market through a Section 351 exchange, letting investors contribute appreciated securities into the fund on a tax-deferred basis rather than buying in with cash. SECA doesn’t yet have a mutualfunds.com page.

Bottom Line

The story that matters most this week isn’t any single ticker, it’s the exchange. TXSE going live for ETF listings, with a genuine new launch and a first-of-its-kind conversion both landing there in the same week, is a bigger deal than most of the individual funds above. Everything else is a fairly typical week: more buffer funds, more regional AI plays, and T. Rowe Price filling out its active lineup.
