Semi-transparent (or non-transparent) active ETF structures let active managers operate in an ETF wrapper without fully revealing holdings each day, reducing the risk that others front-run their trades - a trade-off against full ETF transparency.
Semi-transparent ETFs limit (not eliminate) disclosure to protect active strategies; they are active, not index trackers, and cannot guarantee alpha.
