Active management offers the potential of outperformance by dynamically adapting to market changes and uncovering the best opportunities, rather than simply tracking an index.
Investing in our range of active fixed income ETFs and active equity ETFs can enhance diversification beyond traditional passive core building blocks, aiming for more balanced portfolios.
Active ETFs offer real-time pricing and daily holding transparency, enabling investors to stay informed about their investments while enjoying the liquidity associated with traditional ETFs.
At Schroders, we’ve navigated social and economic change for over 220 years.

By focusing on the intrinsic value and potential of investments, we endeavour to provide resilient, long-term returns despite market fluctuations.

Watch Julien Houdain, Head of Global Unconstrained Fixed Income, explain this approach, which combines systematic tools with fundamental research to seek meaningful outperformance, and how active fixed income ETFs can support efficient implementation.
Active ETFs can help meet evolving investor needs by offering strategies that aim to outperform benchmarks, while benefiting from the transparency and accessibility of the ETF structure.
