DYNAMIC FUNDS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE LAUNCH OF THREE NEW ACTIVE ETFS.
In this special edition of Active Matters magazine, we’ll be presenting highlights from Dynamic LIVE’s “The Active Advantage,” which focused on the importance of active management and the need for alternative assets (specifically liquid alternatives) to deliver added diversification and downside protection in different market environments. Portfolio Manager Noah Blackstein then previewed Dynamic Global Growth Opportunities Fund, a former hedge fund that is now available to all Canadian investors as a liquid alternative.
Held at Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York Hotel, the event also included previews of three new active ETFS – Dynamic Active Global Gold ETF (DXAU), Dynamic Active Mining Opportunities ETF (DXMO) and Dynamic Active Global Real Estate ETF (DXRE). The three launches underscore Dynamic’s ongoing commitment to delivering active management in a variety of formats, including ETFs, mutual funds, private pools and more.

Moving on from GICs and HISAs
We also know that the last few years have provided many challenges. Coming out of COVID, we've seen an unprecedented flight to safety to products like GICs and high-interest savings accounts. In today’s market environment, we believe it's time to think about taking that cash out of park and begin investing in strategies that can generate superior risk-adjusted returns for your clients.
Alternatives: The third asset class
We believe that alternative assets are now a legitimate third asset class. We do believe that they have a place in portfolios, both on the equity and fixed income side. And we're thrilled that, thanks to the support from many advisors, we now hold the number-one position in market share in liquid alternative AUM across the entire Canadian landscape.
The rise of active ETFs
You're going to hear about the ETF wrapper that's forming a bigger part of our business and quite frankly is the most rapidly growing product segment in North America. In a segment that was once reserved for passive and nothing more than low-cost alternatives, we now are finding that active has a place in both the mutual fund and ETF segments equally. We don't really have a concern on which way you choose to do business with us -- we just need to make sure that we're providing the vehicle that you choose to use inside your portfolios, which is why we are placing a much heavier emphasis on the growth of our ETF segment in support of our already significantly sized mutual fund business.
The value of advice
At Dynamic, we continue to constantly stand up for advice and those that deliver it. We do believe that the advice channel -- that's you in this room -- is under siege. Under siege from bad marketing, bad intentions, and inappropriate conclusions.
We need to stand up as an industry. We need to stand up as a provider to you, on your behalf for the value that advice has. We don't have a business without you. Our voice needs to be broadcast loudly because we can put the capital behind that messaging into the industry and we will continue to do that on your behalf.
