Why active ETFs?
We already know that ETF investing can provide superior liquidity, lower costs, and greater tax efficiency relative to some other investment vehicles. Active ETFs can offer the added potential for enhanced risk-adjusted returns based on a skilled portfolio manager’s decision-making and investment process.
Although active managers are, of course, challenged when navigating elevated market volatility, their investment insights are supported by proprietary research resources and a team of research analysts to opportunistically select investments with the most compelling risk/reward profiles. In fact, for portfolio managers whose strategies follow a long-term time horizon, short-term market volatility can also be viewed as an opportunity to buy stocks or bonds of quality companies at discounted prices.
At Natixis, our active ETF approach combines renowned investment research and active investment managers with the benefits of an ETF solution: Cost-conscious, tax-efficient intraday trading, and active fund manager insights.
