TSPA ETF

The T. Rowe Price US Equity Research ETF aims to beat the S&P 500 by using active management and skilled stock selection while keeping similar sector allocations. It relies on T. Rowe Price's in-depth research, enabling industry specialists to choose stocks, which may lead to better performance in certain market situations. Although it has higher fees, the fund's active strategy can respond quickly to changes in the market, giving it an advantage over passive index funds.

The T. Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research ETF (TSPA) has crossed $1 billion in AUM this week, marking an important milestone for the fund. In a year in which active equity ETFs have stood out, the leading active ETF has played a big part.

Looking to get into the growing move toward active ETFs? You wouldn't be alone; many investors are moving into the active space.

Sick of the market narrative whiplash on everything from inflation to elections? Tired of waiting for rate cuts to happen?

A new research piece from BlackRock posits that active ETFs will hit $4 trillion in AUM by 2030. Firstly, the fact that $4 trillion is even on the cards for active ETFs speaks to how far the ETF variant has come.

As active ETFs play a bigger and bigger role in investors' portfolios, certain strategies will start to stand out. The rising active ETF TSPA may just be one of those ETFs, hitting its three-year ETF milestone this month and having recently crossed $700 million in AUM.

With large-cap stocks remaining the major driving factor for the market, investors should be wary about their levels of concentrated company exposure and consider active management. A recent research paper, Passive Investing and the Rise of Mega-Firms, explores the relationship between passive investing strategies and how they affect the valuations of the world's largest firms.

2024 continues to produce some notable uncertainty for investors. With the prevailing sense being to “hurry up and wait” for new information — whether about interest rates, inflation, AI, or geopolitical risk — it can help to check in with industry leaders to hear their thoughts.

As 2024 rolls toward its halfway point, the active ETF boom continues apace. Last year's banner year for actively managed ETFs did quite a bit to gather investor attention.
