Rockefeller Asset Management Expands Active ETF Range with Launch of Global Equities Focused RGEF
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rockefeller Asset Management (“Rockefeller”), the asset management arm of Rockefeller Capital Management, announced today the expansion of its actively managed ETF solutions with the launch of the Rockefeller Global Equity exchange traded fund (ETF), RGEF. This marks Rockefeller’s fifth actively managed ETF launch this year, following the launch of a SMID cap ETF and expansion into opportunistic municipals with three high-yield municipal bond ETFs.
Originally inspired by the Rockefeller legacy and global, inter-connected worldview, Rockefeller Asset Management has an over three-decade history of investing in global markets and currently manages approximately $4.5 billion across its global equity portfolios. RGEF launched with approximately $700 million in assets and will follow a similar philosophy to Rockefeller’s longstanding global equity strategy, which since 1991 has offered investors a high conviction diversified portfolio, leveraging the firm’s deep expertise in seeking to identify high-quality businesses around the globe with strong growth potential, with the goal of delivering long-term outperformance to investors.
The fund will be managed by Michael Seo, CFA®, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager at Rockefeller Asset Management, who brings decades of experience in the global investing space. Seo has been an integral member of the Rockefeller Asset Management team for 25 years, serving as Portfolio Manager on the firm’s global equity strategies for over 15 years.
“Through RGEF, we see a significant opportunity to provide investors with access to a diverse array of leaders and innovators poised for sustainable growth as we seek to deliver alpha and capitalize on opportunities across the global market through our bottom-up, active approach,” said Seo.
“Building on Rockefeller’s over 30-year history in global investing, we are excited to expand on our suite of actively managed ETF solutions and provide a broad range of investors with access to our deeply experienced investment team and extensive legacy in this area of the market,” said Casey Clark, President and Chief Investment Officer of Rockefeller Asset Management.
