HANetf co-founder and co-CEO Hector McNeil talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the significant growth and trends in active ETFs. McNeil explained that the rise of active strategies is a natural evolution following the success of passive investment trackers and smart beta thematic ETFs. He highlighted the convenience of buying ETFs through online platforms and the influence of the US market, where 75% of new ETFs are active. McNeil mentioned that HANetf is receiving increasing inquiries about active ETFs, reflecting a broader trend in Europe. Growth in the ETF market is expected to increase exponentially, with assets expected to rise from $11 trillion to $30 trillion globally within the next five years. McNeil pointed out the tax advantages of holding US equities in Irish-domiciled ETFs, emphasising a 15% withholding tax on dividends compared to 30% in other jurisdictions. He noted that the attraction towards active ETFs is also driven by potential alpha gains and the growing interest from major asset managers in Europe. For example, Guinness Global Investors recently joined HANetf's platform. He also mentioned that strategies span across equity, fixed income, and options-based products, indicating a diversified approach in the active space.
