Thomson Reuters-Monday Morning Memo: Are ETFs the better tool for investors?

May 7, 2018--While observing the current active/passive fund debate, one could get the impression that investors must make the decision of investing either passively or actively in their portfolios.

The talking points of each type of investment are often praised as a kind of dogma. But this is obviously not the case, since investors can use ETFs even if they believe active managed funds are the superior products or the other way around.

Investors who prefer actively managed funds in their portfolios can still use ETFs as tactical investment tools to implement their asset allocation views. ETFs can give them direct access to an asset class that may not be available among actively managed funds or if their investment horizon is too short for an active manager to generate alpha-often achieved only over a longer period.
