What are Cboe Funds?

Cboe Funds are split into two categories:

  1. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
  2. Quoted Managed Funds (QMFs)

Exchange Traded Funds:
ETFs are passively managed funds that automatically track a specific index. For example, an ETF that seeks to track the S&P/ASX 200 will contain Australia’s 200 largest publicly listed companies. If a company drops out of this list and is replaced by another, the ETF will update to match this new composition. 

Quoted Managed Funds:
QMFs have room for more variation compared to ETFs. According to Cboe, “QMFs are funds that are rules based, actively managed or hold only single assets.”

In general:

  • ETFs are more passive (they just follow an index).
  • QMFs are more active (they may have more human guidance/direction).
