CSPF holds a 43% overweight in banking preferreds and a significant 34% allocation to CoCo bonds, introducing sector-specific risk. The ETF's 0.59% expense ratio is justified by strong first-year performance and narrow drawdowns during market stress.
It's been full steam ahead for active ETFs, with total assets now rapidly approaching the $1 trillion milestone. The ETF market, once dominated by passive indexed strategies, has undergone a seismic shift, as issuers tap into investor demand for flexible and transparent tailor-made strategies.
