Investors are more interested in actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) amid turbulent markets. These funds account for nearly 30% of total flows to ETFs this year, despite representing less than 6% of total assets. The trend has been fuelled by the popularity of complex trading strategies and a desire for active management in the face of uncertainties around inflation and the impact of higher interest rates on companies. JPMorgan's Equity Premium Income ETF has been the most popular active ETF this year, taking in $7.1 billion of fresh cash. It has roughly quadrupled its assets under management from $5.8 billion at the start of 2022 to $24 billion today.
