BlackRock Launches Active ETFs, Including Buffer Fund
July 3, 2024--New York-based BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has launched a series of actively managed exchange-traded funds, including the first of four buffer ETFs, as well as a new active fund focusing on high-yield investments and another on U.S. equities.
The iShares Large Cap Max Buffer Jun ETF (MAXJ), which is the first in a series, launched this week.
It tracks the share price return of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, its underlying ETF, according to the firm.
This buffer, or defined outcome, ETF protects the initial investment against 100% of the loss by using a series of expiring and new options. The fund has a cap of about 10.6% that limits the amount of upside potential for the fund, according to Rachel Aguirre, head of U.S. iShares product at BlackRock.
