The era of “set it and forget it” ETF investing is being challenged - are passive ETFs no longer enough?

Michelle Martin dives into the shifting ETF landscape with Aman Pujara, Director of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Construction at Syfe, as investors rethink the classic “VOO and chill” strategy.

Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores why active ETFs are rapidly gaining ground, now accounting for over 80% of new launches in 2026.

We examine how  market volatility has exposed the limitations of passive index tracking.
