What does Active Management mean?

Active management seeks to outperform a reference benchmark by adopting a flexible asset allocation approach. The portfolio manager adjusts asset weights according to market outlooks and analytical insights, concentrating on sectors and securities with the strongest potential to generate above-average returns.

Wirex Passive Underlyings portfolios are built through the selection of appropriate instruments based on advanced quantitative analysis. They are rebalanced daily using proprietary algorithms and data-driven models, with the objective of optimizing performance for each defined risk profile across European and U.S. markets.

Passive instruments, such as funds and ETFs, are designed to replicate the performance of a specific benchmark. Unlike actively managed products, they do not involve discretionary selection of individual securities but instead track a reference index. Because this process can be automated through structured models and technology, management costs are typically lower. Wirex Passive Underlyings funds are actively managed funds of funds that invest in these passive instruments. This structure combines professional asset allocation and oversight with the cost efficiency and transparency of index-based investing, creating a balanced and streamlined investment solution.
Rebalancing within Wirex Passive Underlyings funds is carried out to preserve the selected risk and return profile. These adjustments are structured to be tax-efficient and are not subject to capital gains taxation, supporting more effective long-term portfolio management.
Rather than committing your entire capital at once, a Capital Accumulation Plan (CAP) with Wirex enables you to invest through smaller, scheduled contributions over time. The initial installment is typically higher, followed by regular periodic payments. You also have the flexibility to add extra contributions whenever you wish, even if they were not included in the original plan — for instance, to take advantage of favorable market opportunities or lower price levels.
ETFs, ETCs, and ETNs all fall under the broader category of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs), but they differ in structure, characteristics, and risk profile. ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) ETFs are a specific type of UCITS that have two main features: they are traded on a stock exchange like ordinary shares, and their investment objective can be either to replicate a reference index (benchmark) through passive management or to pursue returns through active management. ETN (Exchange Traded Note) / ETC (Exchange Traded Commodity) ETNs and ETCs are derivative financial instruments issued by a special purpose vehicle (SPV). Their value is based on the issuer’s direct investment in the underlying asset — such as stocks, bonds, currencies, single indices, or interest rates — or in related derivative contracts. Unlike ETFs, ETNs and ETCs are debt securities without a fixed maturity date and are not classified as UCITS. The price of an ETN or ETC is directly or indirectly tied to the performance of its underlying asset. The distinction between the two lies solely in the type of underlying: when the underlying asset is a commodity, the instrument is an ETC; in all other cases, it is an ETN. In summary, while UCITS (such as ETFs) are collective investment schemes that can be actively or passively managed, ETCs and ETNs provide more targeted exposure to specific assets or indices.
