MSCI Survey: 71% Of Advisers Plan To Buy More Active ETFs Within 2 Years

MSCI said 71% of 450 advisers surveyed plan to increase their use of active ETFs within 2 years, while 87% already invest in them and 62% expect to raise passive allocations. According to BeInCrypto, the ETF Intelligence Survey 2026 also found active ETFs are taking shelf space from mutual funds and UCITS holdings, with 58% saying a new active ETF from an existing manager would most likely replace one of those products. MSCI global head of index Jana Haines said passive ETFs remain the foundation of most adviser portfolios, but active ETFs are becoming mainstream.
