Columbia Threadneedle’s Zeitoun On Strategic Beta ETF Lineup

Marc Zeitoun, Head of Strategic Beta, Columbia Threadneedle Investments met with Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss the firm’s suite of strategic Beta ETFs. The DIAL and MUST ETFs have been “incredibly well received,” says Zeitoun. Rather than licensing third party indices, Columbia Threadneedle looks to their own active managers to develop the rules and strategies for their passive products. When asked what’s on the docket for strategic beta ETF launches this year, Zeitoun responds, “we want to continue to meet clients where they want to be met.” For more information on Columbia Threadneedle’s methodology and targeted fixed income approach, catch the replay of their recent webcast: Perfect Environment For Targeted Income.
