            How active ETFs help fixed income work harder

            Published: 16-10-2026
            Bond markets are the backbone of the global financial system, larger in scale than equities and spanning millions of securities across government, corporate and securitised issuers. Around 9,000 global equities trade publicly, compared with more than 3 million global bonds. *

            This vastness brings complexity. Bond markets are fragmented, opaque, and dominated by benchmarks that leave out large parts of the investable universe. Navigating them requires research, skill and flexibility – all reasons why active management has long been the preferred approach for fixed income investors.

            Today, active management has a dynamic new home in the ETF wrapper, where professional insight combines with structural efficiency to make active fixed income investing more flexible, transparent and cost-effective than ever before.

            Active ETFs: Fixed income at its fullest

            After one of the sharpest tightening cycles in decades, interest rates are stabilising. But the path ahead is uncertain. Yield curves are distorted, credit risks are diverging, and liquidity conditions can quickly shift.  This is exactly when active bond managers can add value: adjusting exposures, seeking overlooked opportunities, and managing risks with greater flexibility than passive vehicles. The ETF wrapper amplifies those active advantages by allocating costs fairly, reducing expenses, providing resilient liquidity, and by delivering real-time price signals and daily transparency.  Active fixed income ETFs package up active judgement in a highly efficient, transparent way, helping investors go beyond benchmarks, preserve more return, and position portfolios for whatever comes next.   The message is clear: fixed income works harder with active ETFs.
