"Over the course of the next year or so, you'll see us add to that," Alex Morris, CEO and chief investment officer of F/m Investments [profile], tells MFWire.

F/m recently merged with sibling ZCM, as previously reported, and Morris says his team is working to make some of ZCM's institutional SMA solutions available as ETFs, too. He adds that they're also developing ETFs out of component strategies that they use to power various existing offerings, and that they're also looking to expand their lineup of active equity funds.

"That's a pretty ambitious set of goals for us for the next 18 months," Morris says. He noted that F/m has filed to create a mutual fund share class of an ETF (to broaden its distribution, like through 401(k) platforms), and he adds that he expects to debut more ETFs in Q3 or Q4 of 2024.

"At the back end of the year, you'll see us start to offer more products," Morris says.
