Why investors are flocking to active ETFs to beat uncertainty

Investments in actively-managed ETFs are on the rise. VettaFi investment strategist Cinthia Murphy joins Wealth! to discuss why active ETFs may be the key to a successful second half of 2024, despite uncertainty around the economy.

Murphy explains why active ETFs have become so popular: "It's been a big year for active ETF demand because it's a time when people are trying to be more hands on about positioning themselves in this amount of uncertainty, going forward. If you look the demand for your classic index based portfolios, whether it's in equity or fixed income, that remains strong and really robust, but active is a little bit of a new phenomenon in the ETF space. It's been around forever, but it never really took hold until recently when more product, better product, lower fee products really started to emerge. "
