What are Semi-Transparent ETFs?
Semi-Transparent ETFs bring investors the best parts of a mutual fund in the accessible vehicle of an ETF.
Though similar to a standard ETF in terms of affordability, tax advantages and liquidity, Semi-Transparent ETFs are only required to disclose holdings quarterly, like mutual funds. This disclosure method enables asset managers to take advantage of the liquidity and tax-advantage benefits of the ETF structure, while keeping their proprietary strategy hidden to protect shareholders.
