Navigating Volatility with Active ETFs: JPMorgan's Winning Strategy

Hamilton Reiner, Head of U.S. Equity Derivatives at JPMorgan Asset Management, discussed the firm's successful options-based ETFs, including the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) and JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ). JEPI aims to deliver income and upside through a fundamentally defensive long portfolio with predictable earnings, while JEPQ targets growth, income, and less volatility in tech. Both ETFs rely on a deep research engine and AI-enabled equity portfolios. The firm's intentional design and focus on active management have contributed to its success in providing lower-beta experiences.
