市值 US$3065萬

Buoyed by a spate of mutual-fund-to-ETF conversions, active ETFs made their presence felt in 2024. That accounted for significant percentages of both inflows and launches.

ALPS Active Equity Opportunity ETF focuses on large-cap, dividend-paying stocks with high or improving ROIC. RFFC is better balanced in sectors and holdings than the S&P 500, but has underperformed it since its inception. RFFC has also underperformed several active ETFs over the last three years. In particular, FFLC, CGGR and DUHP are superior to RFFC in return, liquidity, and have lower fees.
