ETFs have entered a new chapter. Traditionally defined by passive strategies, investor demand is increasingly shifting toward active approaches that combine the structural benefits of ETFs with the flexibility and insight of active management.
The ETF wrapper is merely a vehicle for packaging up investments 鈥 and these can span the full spectrum of passive to active, including systematic strategies.
In today鈥檚 complex and volatile environment, active ETFs provide investors with a flexible tool to help navigate change.
Why active ETFs
Returns
With index trackers, you will not have the opportunity to outperform the index or benchmark being tracked. However, active or systematic ETFs offer the potential for alpha (or 鈥榚nhanced鈥) return generation.
Tradability
Active ETFs (like all ETFs) can be bought and sold via stock exchanges, with liquidity provided throughout the trading day. This offers flexibility and exposures can be managed in real-time.
Cost-effective
Active ETFs provide a cost-effective and efficient way of accessing active management and systematic strategies.
Operational efficiencies
In addition to increased tradability, ETFs generally offer greater transparency of underlying holdings than other vehicles such as mutual funds, as well as the potential for greater tax efficiency.
