Exchange traded funds (ETFs) have exploded in the last decade. Fund providers are offering new and exciting ways to invest in the marketplace, and one of the biggest changes may be the advent of the actively managed ETF.
Ignites put together a panel of experts to discuss “The Rise of Active ETFs,” and they will talk about why the new funds are catching on and where growth is expected, writes Johnathan E. Braunstein for Ignites. Joining in on the panel are Don Suskind, head of PIMCO’s ETF product management team, and Noel Archard, head of iShares product research and development at BlackRock. The moderator for the panel is Tom Graves, the co-developer of Standard & Poor’s ETF Report. [Actively managed ETFs are ready to explode.]
Graves remarks upon the growing interest between advisors and investors for actively managed ETFs. Major fund companies are beginning to acknowledge the demand in actively managed products.
Suskind comments on how active manage in strategy could deliver better risk-adjusted returns, and how the full disclosure in active ETFs won’t detract from returns. The ETFs will provide access to areas that are otherwise unavailable, full portfolio transparency and tax implications at parity with or better than traditional funds. Active management includes credit analysis and interest rate positioning.
