In the Global Large Cap Equity category for this quarter, an active ETF strategy, the JPM Global Research Enhanced Equity ESG ETF is ranked #1. Our screening based on short to middle term (1,3,5 years) active funds outperformance consistency vs passive funds, shows that this active ETF ranks #1 vs passive ETFs but also vs traditional active funds.
The term active ETF is relatively new to the UCITS landscape and may be sometimes fazzy. In its more orthodox definition, it has the same meaning in terms of management technique as traditional active funds. It brings together instruments through which the investor can benefit from the experience and skills of the manager who will endeavour to navigate within the various positions based on fundamental research on the underlying companies. Thus, active ETFs build on the benefits of the ETF vehicle, such as continuous liquidity and transparency, while identifying opportunities within a given universe in order to offer the investor a return potentially superior to that of the benchmark. Because they are generally not constrained by an index, managers of active strategies can thus highlight the companies for which they have the most convictions.
