Coronation enters the ETF market
Six funds have now debuted on the JSE, with more to follow.
We are pleased to announce our entry into the exchange-traded fund (ETF) market, with the listing of a suite of actively managed ETFs (AMETFs). Following the launch of the JSE’s first dollar-based managed income AMETF, Global Strategic USD Income, on 14 August, Coronation expanded its offering with five more strategies from its well-established offshore range of investment opportunities.
The latest listing on 27 August includes Coronation Global Optimum Growth Feeder AMETF and Coronation Global Emerging Markets AMETF. This follows the listing of Coronation Capital Plus Prescient Feeder AMETF, Coronation Global Managed Prescient Feeder AMETF and Coronation Global Equity Select Prescient Feeder AMETF and Coronation Global Strategic USD Income AMETF earlier in the month.
BROADENING OUR REACH AND ACCESSIBILITY
Coronation is a market leader in the South African domestic and offshore fund industry, but as an active manager, listing rules have historically prevented our participation in the ETF market. Recent amendments to the JSE Listings Requirements have removed this barrier. We are therefore excited to make our well-established and proven investment strategies available to investors who prefer to implement their investment views via the JSE.
Our initial Feeder AMETF launch focuses on our existing international strategies (the majority of which have now been listed) that cover the full range of investor needs as set out below.
Our AMETF range will be feeder funds into Coronation’s UCITS funds, which are managed by our experienced and fully integrated global investment team. The feeder model enables the new AMETFs to immediately benefit from the scale economies and efficiencies of the more than $4bn asset base already invested in their respective underlying master funds.
For similar reasons of scale and efficiency, coupled with their proven track record in the fund-hosting and ETF markets, we have partnered with Prescient Management Company [RF] (Pty) Ltd to bring our first AMETFs to market. Over time, we expect to expand the range of Coronation-managed strategies available as AMETFs, including replicating some of our successful domestic unit trust funds.
INVESTING IN OUR AMETFS
The table below explains how our new funds can be accessed directly through stockbrokers and online share trading platforms. In time, our AMETFs will also be available to Coronation’s clients via our secure investor portal, where they will enjoy a consolidated portfolio view and benefit from our client service capability.
