New Entrant Plots Actively Managed ETFs

A new exchange-traded fund firm has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for two ETFs that will use active management.

The funds will be asset allocation ETFs, with underlying ETFs that will be allocated as the manager sees fit–effectively active management of a suite of ETFs. The ETFs will be managed by AdvisorShares, a startup launched by Noah Hamman, a former executive at Rydex Investments.

The filing is for two ETFs, the Sector Allocation Fund and Country Allocation Fund. The funds will be managed by a subadvisor, though neither subadvisors nor fees are listed in the filing.
