Active Exchange Traded Funds

The Horizons AlphaPro Funds are actively managed Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs"), which are similar to traditional mutual funds, but are listed on an exchange. As a result, active ETFs combine the benefits of active management with the traditional structural advantages of ETFs: lower fees, intraday liquidity, and superior tax efficiency.
