Market cap $14.5M

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Natixis Investment Managers (Natixis IM) announced today that it will liquidate and close the Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF (NYSE: LSST). The decision was made by the Board of Trustees of the Natixis ETF Trust on the recommendation of the Fund's adviser, Natixis Advisors, LLC. Proceeds of the liquidation are currently expected to be sent to shareholders of the Fund on or about September 30, 2024 (the liquidation date). Effective as of the close of busi.

Investors looking to add bond exposures should consider the Natixis Loomis Sayles Short Duration Income ETF (LSST). The fund makes a strong complement to a fixed income portfolio, adding diversification to longer-duration exposures.

Many investors are still sitting on the sidelines in cash, missing out on current opportunities in short-duration bonds. An ETF comprising short-duration bonds could help investors capture yield and generate income without taking on significant risk.

From purely passive to transparent active, investors now have a variety of ETFs to choose from. Historically, ETFs were synonymous with passive investing.

The popularity of exchange-traded funds remains undiminished nearly 35 years after their introduction. Now, U.S. ETFs appear on a course to reach $10 trillion in AUM by 2027, according to Natixis Investment Managers.

Bonds are always a great place to be in the long-term, notes Natixis Investment Managers' Nick Elward. He discusses investing opportunities in the ETF market, as well as the future of concentrated equity ETFs.

Equities continue their inexorable seeming climb this month after companies like Nvidia beat earnings estimates. However, in an environment of continued equity gains, risks remain.

In the last two years, investors increased their cash positions in the face of ongoing volatility and risk. While sitting on the sidelines reduces risk, it also means missed return opportunities.

Looking to add income to personal or client portfolios? The economy may be humming along steadily, but that doesn't mean investors can't benefit from current income.

2023 was a major year for ETFs, and in 2024, the wrapper looks set to take another big leap. Among the various issuers in that landscape, few firms take as intriguing an approach as Natixis Investment Managers does.
