At M&G Investments, we are firm believers in the power of active management. Our new actively managed ETF range combines M&G's deep investment expertise with the efficiency of ETFs.
Why active ETFs?
Unlike passive exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which aim to replicate the performance of a benchmark index, active ETFs are managed by professional fund managers who make strategic decisions based on factors such as market conditions, economic trends, and company fundamentals. In addition, active ETFs can provide exposure to niche sectors or asset classes that may not be well represented in broader market indices.
We believe that active ETFs combine the best of both worlds – the professional oversight of an actively managed fund and the liquidity and efficient trading of an ETF – making them an appealing choice for investors looking to go beyond market averages.
