4 New Envestnet “ActivePassive” ETFs Debut

James ComtoisMay 08, 2023
2023-05-08

Envestnet PMC has launched a series of ETFs designed to feature the benefits of both traditional active and low-cost passive investments. The four ETFs — the ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF (APUE A-), the ActivePassive International Equity ETF (APIE B+), the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF (APCB A-), and the ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF (APMU B+) — are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

These ETFs that Envestnet has branded “ActivePassive” consist of passive and factor-based exposures managed by Envestnet, and active exposures managed by third-party investment managers vetted by PMC’s research team.

Dana D’Auria, co-chief investment officer and group president of Envestnet Solutions, told VettaFi in an interview that Envestnet’s branded ActivePassive investment philosophy uses the “best of both worlds” from both active and passive investment management styles.

“Our view is that there’s opportunity for both active and passive management within an investor’s portfolio,” D’Auria said. “Passive is giving you market beta. That said, if you go with indexing alone, you are ignoring decades of research that says there’s the ability to outperform the benchmark.”

The ETFs have been launched to offer Envestnet PMC’s ActivePassive strategy in a tax-efficient way with no additional management fee. Greg Classen, principal director of portfolio management at Envestnet PMC, and Tim Murphy, director of portfolio management at PMC, have led the management of the ActivePassive PMC Portfolios since 2014.

Brooks Friederich, principal director of research strategy at Envestnet PMC, said in a statement that the launch of these ActivePassive ETFs gives the company “the opportunity to harness” the “best asset management and research resources within PMC and across the Envestnet ecosystem for the benefit of advisors and their clients.”

Added Friederich: “Our ActivePassive portfolios and ETF wrapper options simplify the blending of active and passive investments for advisors, aimed at allowing them to devote more time to revenue-producing activities and helping to improve outcomes for their clients.”
