Columbia Threadneedle Investments Launches Two New Laddered Buffer ETFs

“RECM and RECD are designed for investors who want the potential for some equity market upside with less volatility and drawdown”

Brian Virginia, Head of Insurance Investments and Senior Portfolio Manager at Columbia Threadneedle Investments

“We think of the strategies as combining a strong engine with carefully designed brakes. The underlying equity portfolio seeks to drive long-term growth, while the hedging strategy is designed to reduce the impact of targeted potential market declines. Together, they aim to help investors stay invested and focused on pursuing their long-term goals.”

“RECS is a franchise strategy for Columbia Threadneedle, and we wanted to give clients more ways to put it to work”

“With the launch of RECM and RECD, there are now multiple ways to include the exposure in client portfolios, across long-only equity exposure (the RECS ETF), income generation (the RECI ETF(3)) and now downside protection with moderate buffer (the RECM ETF) and deep buffer (the RECD ETF) approaches. That flexibility allows advisors to align a research-driven core equity portfolio with each client's goals in mind.”
