AQR Capital Management Seeks Approval From SEC To Sell ETFs

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: One of the most profitable quant money managers may soon be taking a dive into the hot exchange-traded fund industry.
AQR Capital Management, the $195 billion firm co-founded by Cliff Asness, last week asked the Securities and Exchange Commission for what’s called exemptive relief for index-based and transparent actively managed ETFs -- the first step necessary to start a fund. If the permission is granted, the firm would have the legal go-ahead to offer the ETFs at any point in the future.
Regards,

    Would be nice to see ETF versions of QMNNX , QLENX and AUENX to avoid 1 million minimum required for taxable accounts.

    If the underlying stocks, bonds, and etc are thinly traded, the lack of liquidity may impose challenges as ETFs. Closed-end funds would be better vehicles.
