Holly Framsted, CFA, Head of ETFs at Capital Group, joined Julie Cooling, founder & CEO, RIA Channel, to discuss Capital Group’s differentiated approach to ETFs.
In February 2022, Capital Group launched its first suite of six fully transparent, active ETFs and has since launched three additional fixed income active ETFs. The active manager, well known for its American Funds® and Capital Group SMA offerings, felt the ETF structure was an important part of the advisor tool kit, explains Framsted on the firm’s decision to enter the ETF marketplace.
Capital Group’s ETF platform centers on core asset-allocation building-block strategies and is designed to harness Capital Group’s client-centric investment approach in a tax-efficient and investor-friendly vehicle.
