There has been a spurt of new active-equity ETFs being released, reports Mike Hogan from Barron's.

"There are a lot of unique strategies, but not a lot of mainstream equity entries yet," says Morningstar ETF analyst Robert Goldsborough about active ETFs, which only have about $7 billion.

Some of these companies are trying to develop indexes which would mimic active management, for the SEC does not allow truly actively managed ETFs to use derivatives.

These new ETFs have been drawing more attention to active management.
