Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) Glossary

Category: Active Management ETFs

Actively managed ETFs have been offered since 25 March 2008 in the United States. The initial actively managed ETFs have received a lukewarm response and have been far less successful at gathering assets than were other novel ETFs. Among the reasons suggested for the initial lack of market interest are the steps required to avoid front-running, the time needed to build performance records, and the failure of actively managed ETFs to give investors new ways to make hard-to-place bets.
