Active ETFs are becoming more popular with investors, but before buying one, it’s important to understand how they work and what to look for.
In this video, we walk through five key things to consider before investing in an active ETF, including the fund’s objective, level of risk, fees, the provider’s track record and how the ETF fits into your wider portfolio.
Unlike passive ETFs that track an index, active ETFs rely on fund managers to select investments and try to outperform the market. That can offer opportunities, but it also means investors should take a closer look before adding one to their portfolio.
In this video you'll learn:
• What active ETFs are and how they work
• The key questions to ask before investing in one
• How to evaluate an ETF’s investment strategy
• Why fees and fund manager track records matter
• How active ETFs fit into a diversified portfolio
Taking a few minutes to review these factors can help you make more informed investment decisions and avoid surprises later.
