Proactive - Interviews for investors

HANetf head of research says move to active ETFs is gaining momentum

Episode Summary

HANetf Head of Research Tom Bailey talked with Proactive about the rapid growth and future of active ETFs, highlighting how global assets in this category are expected to reach $4 trillion by 2030. Bailey explained the key differences between active and passive ETFs, emphasising that an ETF is simply a fund wrapper, and the investment strategy inside can be either passive or active. He noted that active ETFs have grown significantly, with over a third of global ETF inflows going to active strategies in the first half of 2024. Bailey discussed the unique advantages of ETFs, such as real-time pricing and greater transparency compared to mutual funds, making them increasingly attractive to modern investors. HANetf currently offers four active ETFs, including its Saturna Al-Kawthar Global Focused Equity UCITS ETF (AMAL), screened for Sharia compliance, and a renewable energy ETF with Guinness Global Investors. HANetf also recently partnered with Harbor Capital Advisors to launch the Harbor Health Care UCITS ETF (WELL). Bailey hinted at more active ETF launches by the end of the year, including fixed-income strategies.
