The Rise of Active ETFs: Can Fund Managers Outperform Passive Investing?
Whether you want someone to oversee your ETF or prefer to go it alone, knowing what you can expect is important.
Overview
Given the popularity of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), it's hard to believe that the very first one became available in the U.S. in 1993. That was the year the SPDR S&P 500 ETF debuted, offering a basket of securities and tracking the performance of the S&P 500 index.
In the intervening 33 years, investors have found numerous reasons to give ETFs a key role in their diversified portfolios. Most ETFs are passively managed, a fact that has led to attractively low expense ratios.
