Future Proof your Firm’s Growth with your own ETFs

September 08, 2023 EDT

ETFs can deliver potential cost-savings and tax-efficient benefits, which can play a significant role in positioning your business for growth.


If you’re ready to Future Proof your firm’s growth and drive potential cost savings, look no further than exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These increasingly popular investment vehicles can enhance your existing strategy by delivering appealing perks such as cost effectiveness, tax efficiency, operational ease, and more.

Asset managers, RIAs, and institutions looking to streamline trading or day-to-day operations, improve tax efficiency, or elevate their business visibility to promote proprietary strategies may find ETFs to be a compelling choice.

 

Elevate your Strategy with these ETF Benefits:
 

Grow Your Revenue Stream

Chances are, you're already integrating ETFs into your investment strategy or SMA program. So, why not consider launching your own fund and widening your client base? Exposure to clientele who may not meet the SMA's minimum requirements could lead to revenue stream growth.

 

Tax-Efficient Wrapper

The inherent tax efficiency of the ETF wrapper, particularly the potential to minimize or eliminate capital gains distributions, can mirror your existing strategy. Move your assets into one or multiple ETFs and discover additional opportunities for revenue growth.

 

Simplify Operations    

ETFs can consolidate your entire investment or SMA strategy into one single trade. Rather than making multiple trades to onboard a new client or rebalance multiple clients, the purchase of the ETF is the only trade, and the trading and rebalancing is done automatically.

 

Diversify your Client Base 

With a fund that trades on a major exchange, ETFs provide a powerful platform to promote proprietary models and your advisory business to a wider audience. ETFs can be used as a valuable cross-selling tool to drive client acquisition and AUM growth.

 

See How ETFs Work for Advisors

Investment Advisors often find ETFs to be a significantly more efficient investment wrapper for their clients. ETFs can help advisers streamline business operations, taxes, and trading of their portfolios. ETFs can also simplify the opening, reporting, and operations of smaller accounts, allowing advisors to focus on client relationships.

The tax structure of ETFs, particularly their ability to minimize capital gains tax, can be a key consideration for institutional clients with substantial assets. ETC works with institutions and other firms to repackage their existing SMA strategies into a comprehensive suite of ETFs, potentially driving cost savings and revenue growth for their core business.
