ETFs evolve in the active investing space
August 10, 2023--Expect more launches if the investment trust drought continues
Not everything in life is binary.
That's not a mantra from the culture wars but a statement of fact from the front line of the key struggle in the world of investing: the battle between passive and active funds.
Most passive funds are structured as exchange traded funds (ETFs) but there's also a growing cohort of so-called "active ETFs".
Some might proclaim that this surely this goes against the whole concept of passive funds -which find a big, diverse, benchmark index and then copy it by tracking its constituents. Passively.

CBO-Monthly Budget Review: July 2023
August 8, 2023--Summary
The federal budget deficit was $1.6 trillion in the first 10 months of fiscal year 2023, the Congressional Budget Office estimates-more than twice the shortfall recorded during the same period last year.
Revenues were 10 percent lower and outlays were 10 percent higher from October through July than they were during the same period in fiscal year 2022.
Outlays in fiscal year 2023 were reduced by the shifting of certain payments-totaling $63 billion-from October 1, 2022 (the first day of fiscal year 2023), into fiscal year 2022 because October 1 fell on a weekend. If not for those shifts, the deficit through July would have been $1.7 trillion.
