What are active ETFs?

Active ETFs combine the benefits of professional portfolio management with the flexibility of trading on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Like a managed fund, they pool investor capital into a diversified portfolio aligned with a clear investment philosophy. Unlike traditional unlisted funds, active ETFs are simple to access via a
brokerage account, with no minimum investment required.

This structure provides:

  • Diversification across multiple holdings, reducing exposure to single-asset risk
  • Access to institutional-grade research and disciplined risk management
  • Active allocation that responds to market and economic cycles
  • Liquidity and transparency, with prices available throughout the trading day
  • Efficient, exchange-traded access, as easy as buying shares on the ASX
