Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were historically associated with passive strategies. But regulatory changes in 2019 made it easier for managers to introduce and oversee active ETFs. This led to a proliferation of active strategies packaged in a tax-efficient ETF wrapper. (The way ETF shares are created and redeemed can help limit capital gains distributions.) Four years later, 2023 may go down as the year that active ETF inflows really started to take off.
