ETFs focused on producing income have dominated the launches this week with every type of method of producing income from bonds applied to funds as investors increasingly turn to fixed income.
We have an interview with USD20 billion Angel Oak Capital Advisors on ETF Express this week and lo, within the week, the firm launched its second actively managed ETF, designed to provide investors with the opportunity to invest primarily across US structured credit with a strong bias toward residential mortgage credit.
Even equities have been employed to produce income this week, with First Trust bringing us the FT Energy Income Partners Strategy ETF (NYSE Arca: EIPX), which seeks risk-adjusted total return by investing at least 80 per cent of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of equity securities in the broader energy market.
Another equity-based solution has come from BNY Mellon which has turned to global infrastructure to find income with its new ETF which provides exposure to traditional and non-traditional infrastructure stocks while also seeking to deliver quarterly income through a global equity portfolio.
