ETFs have been popular among investors for many years given the tax advantages, efficiency, and transparency afforded by the ETF structure, but it was regulatory changes implemented in 2019 that leveled the playing field for the issuance of active ETFs. Since then, more active managers, including traditional mutual fund firms, have been bringing actively-managed ETFs to market. Our host, Mike Wallberg, CFA, speaks with Steve Cook, Managing Director and Head of ETFs at Harbor Capital Advisors, about the evolution of active ETFs in the marketplace and discusses the firm’s process of creating ETFs that solve investors’ problems, using the firm’s inflation-hedging ETF as an example.
