The Natixis U.S. Equity Opportunities ETF EQOP started trading on Sept. 17, 2020. Like its open-end sibling, this actively managed non-transparent exchange-traded fund combines two experienced managers who have posted successful long-term results at their standalone funds. Bill Nygren of Harris Associates uses a focused, valuation-sensitive approach while Aziz Hamzaogullari of Loomis Sayles compiles a concentrated, growth-driven portfolio. The open-end version’s Morningstar Analyst Rating ranges from Bronze to Neutral depending on share class level fees. The ETF is offered at 0.90%, cheaper than the A and C shares of the open-end fund but pricier than the N shares and just a tad lower than the Y shares.
