Neuberger has expanded its actively managed ETF lineup with the launch of the Neuberger Quality Select ETF (NYSE:NQLT), a high-conviction strategy targeting quality mid- and large-cap companies across the growth and value spectrum.
The launch comes as active ETFs continue to attract strong investor demand, with asset managers increasingly rolling out differentiated strategies that aim to outperform traditional index-tracking funds in a market dominated by a handful of mega-cap stocks.
• Neuberger Quality Select ETF shares are consolidating. Where are NQLT shares going?
Portfolio manager Daniel P. Hanson said today’s market is characterized by increasingly narrow leadership, sharp factor rotations and rapid technological change, making high-quality companies an attractive core allocation. He said the strategy focuses on businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong cash flow generation and high returns on invested capital, while avoiding speculative or unproven growth companies with uncertain long-term economics.
Meanwhile, Anil Abraham, head of ETF Product Development at Neuberger, said actively managed ETFs have become a preferred vehicle for investors seeking liquidity, transparency and the benefits of active management, adding that NQLT broadens access to the firm’s long-standing quality equity capabilities.
