How active ETFs are unlocking innovation and opportunity for investors
July 22, 2024--KEY TAKEAWAYS
Active ETFs are an increasingly important part of investor toolkits, alongside mutual funds, closed-end funds (including private markets), separately managed accounts, and index ETFs.
Investors are increasingly choosing to access actively managed strategies through ETFs due to the wrapper's benefits, including tax efficiency and transparency.
BlackRock projects that global active ETF assets under management will surge to $4 trillion by 2030-a more than a four-fold increase in about six years.1
The Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) industry has dramatically transformed in the past 30 years, progressively growing in both assets under management and in the variety of ETFs available to investors. From just a handful of U.S.-based funds in 1993 to over 13,000 globally currently, ETFs have evolved to provide transparent access to a broad range of asset classes, sectors, and geographies.2
