An Actively Managed ETF (AMETF) is a listed, exchange-traded fund in which a portfolio manager makes active investment decisions - rather than simply tracking an index. Like traditional ETFs, AMETFs are listed on the JSE, can be bought and sold intraday through a stockbroker, and offer the transparency and cost-efficiency of the ETF structure.
What sets AMETFs apart is that the portfolio is actively managed, meaning the fund manager applies their investment process to seek returns above a benchmark - while still operating within the full regulatory framework of a listed instrument.
At Prescient, our AMETFs are feeder funds that invest directly into our proven flagship unit trust strategies.
Each AMETF feeds into an existing Prescient flagship fund with a long and verifiable track record. You are not investing in a new concept - you are accessing an established strategy via a listed wrapper.
Our investment process is rooted in data science and statistical evidence. We process over 500 million data points daily. Every active position is justified by research and shown to add value — gut-feel does not feature.
As a listed instrument, pricing is real-time and visible on the JSE throughout the trading day. Fund holdings, performance data, and factsheets are published and freely available.
Our AMETF range spans income, balanced and global income strategies — giving investors access to a risk-return spectrum managed with the same disciplined approach at every level.
AMETFs are listed instruments — investing is straightforward through any JSE-accredited broker or online trading platform.
