Stable, consistent, and reliable. Sounds boring?

Bonds are sometimes referred to as "boring" investments due to their relatively stable nature compared to other investment options like stocks or commodities. While the term "boring" might sound negative, there are several reasons why this relative stability can be seen as a positive attribute for investors. A reliable income from fixed income ETFs can help smooth out the overall returns of the portfolio and provide a stable cash flow. Including fixed income ETFs in a portfolio can add diversification benefits. It can provide a cushion during turbulent market conditions and could help maintain portfolio stability. 

WHAT IS AN ACTIVE ETF?

WHY INVEST IN ACTIVE ETFs?

Combine investment capabilities and expertise with the benefits of an ETF structure

  

Potential for Better Outcomes

An active approach allows portfolio managers to pursue opportunities based on insights around the direction of interest rates, sector rotation and issuer selection, rather than simply reflecting the benchmark as passive ETFs would do.  It also gives portfolio managers the flexibility to address concentration risk at the issuer level.
