# Smart Money Is Moving Active—Northern Trust's US Equity ETF Eyes The Spotlight

The active ETF boom just gained another heavyweight entrant. Northern Trust has launched the **Northern Trust U.S. Equity ETF** (NYSE:NOEQ), stepping beyond its traditionally niche, income-focused lineup into the highly competitive core U.S. equity space. The fund, which debuted on March 20, comes at a time when actively managed ETFs are seeing strong inflows as investors look for professional navigation in volatile markets.

NOEQ signals a strategic shift for the firm, which has historically leaned on its **FlexShares** brand for broader equity exposure. With a competitive 12 basis point fee, the ETF positions itself as a low-cost, flexible option targeting mid- and large-cap U.S. stocks, while also tapping into tax efficiency advantages inherent to the ETF structure. As active ETFs continue to evolve into mainstream portfolio tools, Northern Trust's latest offering could mark a meaningful expansion into a category long dominated by passive giants.

**Key Features of Northern Trust U.S. Equity ETF (NOEQ):**

-   Actively managed strategy focused primarily on mid- and large-cap U.S. equities
-   Flexibility to invest in preferred stocks and REITs for diversification
-   Ability to use derivatives, including U.S. equity index futures, for portfolio management
-   Can allocate up to 15% of assets to a single sector, allowing tactical positioning
-   Designed to minimize taxable capital gains, leveraging ETF tax efficiency benefits
-   Expense ratio at 0.12%
