BlackRock Moves Ahead to Launch Active Non-Transparent ETF
Read MoreHide Full Article
Per a Bloomberg report, BlackRock, Inc. (BLK - Free Report) has filed to license the structure of Precidian Investments’ ActiveShares product. The world’s largest asset manager is pushing to launch the active non-transparent exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) structure, which does not report holding on a daily basis.
The new model requires funds to publish an indicative value of the holdings every second. The structure uses an agency broker to buy and sell securities confidentially.
Unlike the daily disclosure of traditional ETFs, the active non-transparent funds keep portfolios hidden. This helps in preventing potential front-running and copycat strategies.
Notably, the asset management division of JPMorgan (JPM - Free Report) decided to test the active non-transparent model this year. In fact, Legg Mason also kicked off a value-focused product last week.
BlackRock also planned to launch three actively managed funds. The first is a Future Health ETF that will invest in equities in the health-sciences industry. The second is a Future Innovators ETF, which will track mid- and small-cap companies with earnings growth potential. The last one is a Future Tech ETF that will focus on firms with rapid and sustainable growth prospects.
BlackRock’s continued efforts to strengthen the iShares and ETF operations, and increased focus on the active equity business will likely continue to aid revenue growth in the near term. Its strong global presence, broad product diversification and steadily improving assets under management (AUM) balance are expected to enable it to boost revenues further. The company’s inorganic growth strategy remains impressive.
So far this year, shares of BlackRock have gained 9% against a decline of 7.1% recorded by the industry.
A better-ranked stock from the finance space is GAIN Capital Holdings . Its current-year earnings estimates have moved up significantly over the past 60 days. The company’s shares have gained 56.2% year to date. At present, it carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
