Secretive active ETFs lose out to their fully transparent rivals
September 5, 2023--The portfolio-shielding models had a strong start when they were approved in 2019, but have failed to gain traction
Secretive exchange traded funds that hide what they are holding from potential investors appear to be falling out of favour.
US regulators approved semi-and non-transparent ETFs in 2019, paving the way for the structure to depart from the tried-and-trusted model where ETFs reveal their full portfolio publicly every day.
The new "portfolio-shielding" models were expected to encourage actively managed funds to enter the ETF market, something many active managers had been reluctant to do because they feared daily holdings disclosures would reveal their "secret sauce", allowing other investors to front-run their funds and steal their intellectual property.

Grayscale Faces 'Instantaneous' Fee War in US Bitcoin ETF Race
August 31, 2023--Firm vying with BlackRock, others known to undercut on fees
GBTC 2% fee compares with ETF-industry average of 0.54%
Fresh off a pivotal win in court this week, Grayscale Investments LLC may soon find itself in another fight: the $7.5 trillion US exchange-traded industry's never-ending contest over fees.
A ruling Tuesday overturned the Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to block Grayscale's bid to convert its $17 billion Bitcoin trust into a physically backed ETF.
While the action potentially paves the way for the firm to attract a fresh wave of investors, there's just one thing: The product carries a 2% fee in its current form. That compares to an average of 0.54% across US-listed ETFs, and 1.48% for crypto exchange-traded products globally, Bloomberg Intelligence data show.

US SEC delays decision on Invesco, WisdomTree, Valkyrie bitcoin ETFs
August 31, 2023--The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed a decision on whether to approve applications for spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) from Invesco (IVZ.N), WisdomTree (WT.N) and Valkyrie, a filing by the regulator showed on Thursday.
The SEC has pushed back the decision dates for the three proposals by several weeks to mid-October, but could potentially delay further. It was previously due to make a decision by next week.
The delay comes just two days after a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the SEC was wrong to reject an application from Grayscale Investments to create a spot bitcoin ETF. A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Washington said the regulator failed to fully explain its reasoning when denying Grayscale's product.
