EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MOVING TO ETFS AS TOOLS TO SOLVE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS

THE TREND TO ACTIVE AND SMART BETA ETFS AND ESG ETFs are increasingly used for active and smart beta investing, in addition to passive investing. By 2023, respondents expect around 40% of ETF allocation in their client portfolios to be in active or smart beta ETFs. ESG and thematic ETFs are key growth areas, with active ETFs seen by larger investors in particular as suitable for ESG investing.

LOW COST AND LIQUIDITY THE BIGGEST BENEFITS Low cost investment is the most important benefit of ETFs, followed by ease of trading/liquidity. For respondents with a lower AUM, diversification and risk management are important benefits. However, liquidity in a bear market is seen as one of the biggest risks of ETFs, followed by market distortion.

ACTIVE ETFS ARE USED FOR SPECIFIC AIMS Those with higher AUMs are more likely to see active ETFs as a tool to add alpha, but otherwise active ETFs are seen as most suitable for targeted investing and achieving specific aims, such as ESG. Track record is the most important factor when selecting an active ETF provider, followed by investment philosophy and trading expertise.

COST AND CONTROL KEY TO FIXED INCOME ETFS Reducing cost and adding control are seen as key benefit of fixed income ETFs, as well as simplifying bond exposures. Increasing the product range is seen as key to expanding the use of fixed income ETFs, as this would give exposure to sectors of interest, such as corporate, high yield and emerging market debt.

ACTIVE ETFS SET TO BECOME OVER A QUARTER OF PORTFOLIOS IN THE US

? The biggest move away from passive ETFs to active ETFs is reported by respondents from Latin American, followed by the US and then EMEA.

? Respondents in the EMEA region are the most diversified among different asset classes by region. Asset allocation is also relatively stable over time by region, reinforcing that ETF diversification is predominantly by ETF style, ahead of the underlying asset classes used.
