The ETF industry is undergoing a momentous shift. The majority (79%) of U.S. ETF issuers report that they are currently developing or planning to develop transparent active ETFs, despite only 3% of ETF assets being currently held in such products. Several catalysts will help grow active ETF assets. Driven by competitive market dynamics, eased regulation, and advisors’ willingness to use a wider variety of ETFs, the products offer issuers an avenue for differentiation.
As the ETF vehicle transitions beyond passive exposures, investors will be able to use it to achieve more of their financial objectives. Issuers should think about their role in serving client needs across their lifecycle as much white space remains for innovative exposures.
