Smart beta equity exchange traded funds (ETFs) were more common in the United stats and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) than other regions, comprising nearly 20 percent of ETF portfolios. Conversely, smart beta ETFs account for well less than 10 percent of ETF portfolios in other regions.
Active ETFs are where an investment manager actively manages a portfolio of securities, while passive ETFs are structured so as to track a particular stock market index. (e.g. the S&P Index). Smart beta funds differ in that, while they track an index, they have an additional set of rules that guide which stocks from that index should be included in the portfolio at any given point in time.
