Cost Efficiency with Enhanced Shareholder Returns
NextShares are a new way to invest in actively managed strategies and offer the potential for benchmark-beating returns by applying their manager's proprietary investment research.
As exchange-traded products, NextShares may offer cost and tax efficiency that can enhance shareholder returns and are expected to be offered by a range of well-known asset managers and across fund asset classes. The first NextShares funds began trading on the Nasdaq stock market earlier this year.
Thomas Peterffy, Chairman, founder and Chief Executive Officer at Interactive Brokers, commented: "NextShares support our vision of providing our customers with high-quality services at a lower cost. We are excited to bring investors a potentially better-performing, lower-cost and more tax-efficient investment opportunity with NextShares."
