ACTIVE ETF FAQs
Active ETFs are investment funds that are actively managed by professional portfolio managers. They trade on stock exchanges, providing investors with potential benefits of active management and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Active ETFs involve professional management aiming to either outperform the market, deliver a specific outcome, or provide access to hard-to-index markets. Index ETFs seek to track the performance of a specific index.
Active ETFs offer the potential for outperformance or delivery of specific outcomes through active management, allowing portfolio managers to adapt to market changes, capitalise on opportunities, and potentially achieve superior returns or outcomes.
Active ETFs are managed by professional portfolio managers who actively select and adjust the fund's holdings in an effort to meet its investment objectives. This involves ongoing analysis and decision-making based on market conditions.
Risks may include market volatility, manager performance, and the impact of fees on returns. Investors should carefully consider these factors and assess their risk tolerance before investing in active ETFs.
ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, offering intraday pricing and no minimum investment amount. Mutual funds are bought or sold directly from the manager at end-of-day prices and have minimum investment amounts. ETFs have tended to be lower cost than mutual funds.
