Podcast: A systematic approach to active ETFs

Recorded on 10 September 2024
 

In this podcast episode of The Ideas Exchange by ASX, Blair Hannon, Macquarie ETF Strategist and host Jacinta King delve into active ETFs and how Macquarie's systematic approach to investing combines the history and experience of the institutional world to offer everyday investors access to quantitative strategies. In this episode, they discuss:

  • How active ETFs democratise the ability for investors to access active management expertise in asset classes such as fixed income and equities, providing investors with more choice for portfolio construction

  • How a systematic (or quantitative) investing approach allows for analysing a large amount of data and stocks quickly and efficiently, as opposed to a fundamental investment approach

  • How the Macquarie Systematic Investments team are aligning the fee structure of their new core equity active ETFs with the investor; ASX:MQAE and ASX:MQEG.

Risks

All investments carry risk. Different investments carry different levels of risk, depending on the investment strategy and the underlying investments. Generally, the higher the potential return of an investment, the greater the risk (including the potential for loss and unit price variability over the short or long term). The risks of investing in the Macquarie Core Australian Equity Active ETF and the Macquarie Core Global Equity Active ETF include:

Investment risk: The Funds seeks to generate higher income returns than traditional cash investments. The risk of an investment in these Funds is higher than an investment in a typical bank account or term deposit. Amounts distributed to unitholders may fluctuate, as may the Fund’s unit price. The unit price may vary by material amounts, even over short periods of time, including during the period between a redemption request being made and the time the redemption unit price is calculated.

Market risk: The investments that the Funds have exposure to are likely to have a broad correlation with share markets in general. Share markets can be volatile and have the potential to fall by large amounts over short periods of time. Poor performance or losses in domestic and/or global share markets are likely to negatively impact the overall performance of the Funds.

Manager risk: There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their performance objectives, produce returns that are positive, or compare favourably against their peers, or that the strategies or models used by the Investment Manager will produce favourable outcomes.

More information on the risks of investing in the Funds are contained in the Product Disclosure Statements, which should be considered before deciding to invest in the Funds.
