Below is an example of an article I recently wrote about Blackrock expanding its ETF lineup with two new funds.

BlackRock Adds Two New Funds to Its Array of Actively Managed ETFs

The largest asset manager in the world, BlackRock, has added two new actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to its lineup: the BlackRock iShares U.S. Value ETF (IUV) and the BlackRock Flexible Income ETF (BINC).

BINC

An actively managed fixed income fund called BlackRock Flexible Income ETF (BINC) aims to give investors a diverse exposure to non-core fixed income instruments. The fund's primary investments will be in securitized assets, high yield bonds, and debt issued by emerging markets; capital appreciation will be its secondary goal. More risk-tolerant investors looking to augment their primary bond exposures can consider BINC.

IUV

An actively managed equity fund, the BlackRock iShares U.S. Value ETF (IUV), aims to expose investors to cheap large-cap U.S. equities. The fund will select stocks that are trading below their real value by applying a value investing strategy. Investors looking for long-term capital growth can consider IUV.

Expanding Actively Managed ETF Presence

BlackRock's footprint in the actively managed ETF market is further increased with the introduction of BINC and IUV. BlackRock is one of the top providers of actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with over $13 billion in assets under management across 20 of these products.

Active ETFs Gaining Traction

In recent times, investors have been drawn to actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a substitute for conventional index-based ETFs. Although there is a chance for better returns with active exchange-traded funds (ETFs), there is also a higher cost and a chance of underperformance.

Blackrock's Commitment to Active ETFs

BlackRock has shown its dedication to the actively managed ETF market with the introduction of BINC and IUV. The company believes that by giving investors access to unusual asset classes and investment techniques, active exchange-traded funds (ETFs) might be a useful addition to their portfolios.

Looking Ahead

In the upcoming years, BlackRock is anticipated to keep adding more actively managed ETFs to its portfolio. With its extensive resources and proven track record of active management, the company is well-positioned to benefit from the rising demand for these products.
