Active ETFs continue to thrive amid the overall ETF surge that has dominated asset management in recent years. Active ETFs not only provide adaptable, thematic opportunities.
On June 24, Natixis Investment Managers and Loomis Sayles & Company rolled out two new actively managed fixed income funds, the Natixis Loomis Sayles Total Return Bond ETF (LSTB) and the Natixis Loomis Sayles Dynamic Core Plus ETF (LSCP). Both funds launched with an expense ratio of 39 basis points.
Beneath the headline-grabbing yields of the JPMorgan's flagship duo the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) and the JPMorgan NASDAQ Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ), a broader active bench is taking shape.
JPMorgan Core Plus Bond ETF is upgraded to 'Buy' after significant improvements in downside risk management and portfolio construction. JCPB now features a 6.1-year duration, 4.7% SEC yield, and 5.22% portfolio YTM, with 88% investment-grade exposure and $11B AUM. Active management enables JCPB to pivot amid macro volatility, outperforming peers in recent risk/reward metrics and aligning with current rate dynamics.
NEW YORK, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- J.P. Morgan Asset Management today announced the upcoming exchange listing transfer of 14 ETFs from their current exchanges including the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., and Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. As of the exchange opening on April 16, 2026, the listing exchange for each fund will be changed per the following.
VGMS: This New Low-Cost Active Bond ETF Is Growing
JPMorgan Core Plus Bond ETF offers a 5% yield from an actively managed, investment-grade-heavy bond portfolio. JCPB's distribution has followed interest rate trends and outpaced inflation since inception, but share price suffered a 6.4% loss. JCPB outperformed several active bond ETFs with similar yields since 2022, but JPMorgan Income ETF offers a better risk-benefit tradeoff.
JCPB offers a diversified, actively managed bond portfolio with a core-plus strategy, balancing low-risk and high-yield exposures for enhanced income. Active management, robust risk controls, and use of derivatives help the fund navigate interest rate, duration, and inflation risks effectively. Current macro indicators suggest maintaining liquidity and flexibility, as yield curve dynamics and market liquidity remain uncertain.
