Potential for outperformance

Diversification
Active ETFs can enhance diversification beyond traditional passive core building blocks, aiming for more balanced portfolios.
Flexibility
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.
