- Provides ETF investors with access to the firm's international core equity strategy
Today, Macquarie Asset Management expanded its active exchange-traded fund (ETF) platform with the launch of Macquarie Focused International Core Equity ETF (EXUS). Managed by the firm's Global Equity Team, EXUS shares the same goal of delivering consistent returns, not market-leading returns at a high cost of risk, as Macquarie Asset Management's International Core Equity mutual fund.
This new ETF seeks to capitalize on opportunities in international markets with 35-45 stocks with underappreciated long-run earnings drivers. EXUS utilizes the style-agnostic approach of Macquarie Asset Management's Global Equity Team, which oversees $US4.5 billion in assets.1 Through discipline and pragmatic risk management, the team takes granular stock-specific risks, while looking to minimize country and factor risks.
"We look for singles and doubles over home runs, in an effort to deliver consistent returns," said Aditya Kapoor, Senior Portfolio Manager for Macquarie Asset Management's Global Equity Team. "EXUS leverages our experienced team to invest in what we believe to be self-sustaining business models in a balanced and well-diversified portfolio that is designed to deliver attractive returns over the long term."
"We are excited to offer investors access to our active international core equity strategy within the convenience of an ETF wrapper," said Anthony Caruso, Head of ETF Strategy at Macquarie Asset Management. "EXUS expands upon our current active equity-focused suite, providing investors with the breadth of our research capabilities in a curated portfolio of high-conviction developed international and emerging market securities."
