Thursday, August 18, 2011 Natixis Gears Up to Enter the ETF Biz From Both Sides Natixis [see profile] is preparing to enter both the active and the passive sides of the exchange-traded fund space in the U.S. The Financial Times and IndexUniverse.com both reported that the Boston-based mutual fund firm just filed to launch an actively managed ETF and an index ETF [see filings here and here]. The index ETF would track the Ossiam U.S. Minimum Variance Net Return Index, though the filing left the door open to possible new domestic, international, equities and fixed income ETFs in the future. As for the active ETF, Natixis cited possibly using multiple sub-advisors and investing in companies in Latin America. Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=37607 Copyright 2011, InvestmentWires, Inc.
