The three RevenueShares were launched on February 22. Company Press Release NEW YORK, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Bank of New York Mellon, the global leader in asset servicing and a leader in asset management, has been selected to provide exchange-traded fund (ETF) services, sub-advisory services, transfer agency services, fund accounting, fund administration, and custody services for the first three RevenueShares ETFs.

The ETF services will be provided through BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, and the sub-advisory services will be provided through BNY Mellon Asset Management.

Keenan, managing director of U.S. Asset Services. "We continue to invest in technology and client service so we can meet the growing needs of investment managers."
