Aristotle Funds Series Trust and Aristotle Pacific Capital officially entered the ETF market on Thursday with the launch of three actively managed fixed-income ETFs.

The new lineup includes:

Aristotle Core Plus Income ETF (NYSE:ARCP): Aims to outperform core bonds with limited additional volatility using a relative-value, income-focused strategy. This fund carries an expense ratio of 0.49%.

Aristotle Multi-Sector Income ETF (NYSE:ARMS): Invests across investment-grade bonds, high-yield credit and floating-rate loans to generate high current income. The expense ratio attached to this fund is 0.59%.

Aristotle Short Term Income ETF (NYSE:SDUR): Focuses on primarily investment-grade, short-duration bonds to provide income while reducing interest-rate risk. This fund is the cheapest among the three, with an expense ratio of 039%.

All three ETFs are actively managed by Aristotle Pacific Capital and rely on the firm’s proprietary process combining bottom-up credit research with top-down portfolio positioning.

QUICK CONTEXT: Active Bond ETFs Keep Growing

Active fixed-income ETFs have become one of the fastest-growing segments of the ETF industry as investors seek professional management amid shifting interest-rate expectations and widening opportunities across credit markets. Unlike passive bond ETFs that track indexes, active strategies can adjust duration, sector exposure and credit quality based on market conditions.

The launch also reflects a broader industry trend of traditional mutual fund managers expanding into ETFs to meet investor demand for more tax-efficient and lower-cost investment vehicles.
