This article was originally published on ETFTrends.com.
Bull vs. Bear is a weekly feature where the VettaFi writers’ room takes opposite sides to debate controversial stocks, strategies, or market ideas — with plenty of discussion of ETF ideas to play either angle. For this edition of Bull vs. Bear, Nick Peters-Golden and James Comtois debate whether this is truly the year active ETFs turned pretty.
Nick Peters-Golden, staff writer, VettaFi: Hi James! Active ETFs have made plenty of headlines this year, with the ETF ecosystem once again swooning at the prospect of meaningful outperformance by experienced managers. I thought it was about time we VettaFi writers took a closer look at active management. I think there's a real story behind the "Year of Active" narrative that investors and advisors should be accounting for looking ahead to 2024.
