GQG Partners (GQG), with USD160.5 billion under management, has announced plans to offer its first active ETF, the GQG US Equity ETF, to US investors this summer.
The ETF will be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker GQUS. GQUS will be managed by GQG’s portfolio management team, including Chief Investment Officer Rajiv Jain, Portfolio Managers Brian Kersmanc and Sudarshan Murthy, CFA, and Deputy Portfolio Manager Sid Jain.
GQG writes that it has offered its US equity strategy to investors since 2018. Through this strategy, GQG seeks to deliver capital appreciation and downside risk management via active stock selection in US companies using a forward-quality lens.
“We have demonstrated our ability to deliver a US equity strategy through various investment vehicles and look forward to launching an ETF using the same strategy,” says Rajiv Jain. “While we recognise the competitiveness of the US equity ETF marketplace, we believe our concentrated, forward-looking approach to investing could be a differentiator for investors.”
“GQG seeks to be a manager of choice, and we are committed to delivering our solutions in a variety of vehicles to meet investor needs and preferences,” says Steve Ford, Managing Director and Head of Global Distribution at GQG. “Offering an ETF in our product lineup is a natural evolution of our business.”
A registration statement containing a preliminary prospectus relating to the shares of the ETF has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but is not yet effective.
