Active ETFs can offer investors access to a diversified portfolio of investments, combined with having greater convenience and transparency of their investments. Some of the key benefits of Active ETFs include:

• Convenience: Active ETFs are traded on securities exchanges, which means you can buy and sell Active ETF units via your broker or your online trading account, just like you would do if you were buying and selling shares.
• Diversification: Active ETFs help diversify an investor’s portfolio across markets or asset classes that can be difficult to access. 
• Transparency: The security holdings of the Active ETF are typically published on the issuer website. This not only means you can review the securities held by your Active ETF, but also it means the market can accurately price the ETF throughout the day. 
• Income: All income received by the fund through the year is fully paid to unitholders, subject to the Active ETF having sufficient distributable income after taking into account any expenses charged to the Fund. It is generally paid monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. In most cases, investors are able to elect to receive this income in the form of additional units via a Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) or as cash.
• Fair value for investors: Active ETFs are designed to trade at a price that is close to their underlying net asset value (NAV). This means that the price you pay should closely reflect the underlying assets of the fund.
