Active ETFs dominated fund launches this year. Over three-quarters of all new ETFs in 2024 operate under some type of active strategy. As more institutional strategies make their way into the ETF wrapper, investors now enjoy a vast array of choices when selecting an ETF. “This year’s best new ETFs target different markets, but each leverages a strategy over 30 years in the making,” Morningstar explained in a roundup of top and bottom ETFs of the year. “A long track record should give investors confidence in these new ETFs.” Of the new ETFs launched this year, NBSM stood out as a top offering for investors. The fund focuses on quality companies within the small- and midcap space. It brings over the separately managed account approach of the Neuberger Berman Genesis Fund and makes it readily available in the tax-efficient ETF wrapper.
