Our ETFs
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a basket of securities that trades on an exchange like an individual stock. ETFs typically give investors low-cost, tax-efficient exposure to markets.

Our approach
ETFs are playing a major role in the evolution of investing. Although the first ETFs were tied to market-capitalization-weighted indexes, we think traditional passive strategies aren’t enough to meet today’s challenges. We’ve chosen investment teams with proven track records and deep experience for every ETF we offer. Our ETF managers are among the leaders in multifactor investing and global fixed income.
