THE BENEFITS OF ACTIVE ETFs

TAX EFFICIENCY

Over the past five years, 53% of active mutual funds have distributed capital gains, compared to just 16% of active ETFs. Additionally, the average size of the capital gain was larger for mutual funds, at 3.3% of NAV, compared to 1.2% for active ETFs.10

LOW-COST AND GREATER TRANSPARENCY

Advisors are increasingly turning to active ETFs to pursue alpha or specific outcomes at a low-cost, while closely managing portfolio exposures through daily transparency of holdings.

LIQUIDITY AND MARKET QUALITY

Active ETFs trade just like stocks, offering intraday liquidity on an exchange during market hours.11 The market for active ETFs has also matured over the past four years with daily trading volumes more than doubling and bid-ask spreads narrowing.12
