What should you look for when choosing an active ETF?

Question

Accepted Answer

Selecting an active ETF to meet your long-term goals can feel overwhelming. As a starting point, you may consider focusing on three key factors, just like when you ponder on your food preferences. First, the strategy. Each active ETF has a distinct management style and investment strategy. Some may seek outperformance, while others may aim to achieve certain outcomes such as generating regular income or reducing volatility. So, take a look at the 'menu' that tells you what it is trying to deliver, its composition and long-term performance. Then make sure the chosen active ETF is a good fit for your own investment goals and risk appetite. Second, the brand. Choosing a provider with a good track record is key to active ETF investing. You need someone who is experienced, possesses strong research capabilities, and has a dedicated capital markets team to ensure adequate liquidity. Finally, the cost. Remember higher fees can eat into your returns, and lower fees alone don’t always mean better value. Compare both cost and performance to get the best value.
