Not All Active ETFs Are the Same

The popularity of exchange traded funds (ETFs) has exploded over the years as investors have discovered their benefits on a number of fronts. Intraday tradability, diversification, potential tax savings, and low costs are just some of the hallmarks of the fund type.

However, not all ETFs are structured the same way or passively managed. In fact, there are now numerous active ETFs on the market that offer investors a chance to build their portfolios and meet their goals.

But even here, it’s not a cut and dried decision. Active ETFs come in two flavors: Fully Active and Smart-Beta.

For investors, understanding the difference between the two flavors of active ETFs is important when constructing a portfolio. Their differences matter and can produce widely different results even when looking at the same asset class. Understanding how they work differently can ultimately help you build a better portfolio and meet your financial goals.
