Income ETFs are a huge category in the ETF landscape. Using a variety of derivatives, call strategies, and fixed income allocations, income strategies have thrived. They’ve drawn interest from investors at the start of their investing journey and from those at or near retirement, together. Active income ETFs may be standing out, however, with the likes of the T. Rowe Price Multi-Sector Income ETF (TMSF) appealing.
Key Takeaways:
- The active income ETF TMSF charges a competitive 37 bps fee for its approach.
- The strategy has produced strong yields, offering a 5.99% 30-day SEC yield as of June 30th per T. Rowe Price data.
- Its active approach empowers it to invest across multiple categories and limits, helping it pursue stronger outcomes.
TMSF charges a 37 basis point (bps) fee to actively invest across sectors with the goal of providing income. The active income ETF’s scope includes countries, credit sectors, and various currencies as part of that approach.
The fund leans on T. Rowe Price’s fundamental research capabilities to pursue that high income as well as some capital appreciation. The strategy actively invests in areas including, but not limited to, foreign high yield, investment-grade corporates, emerging markets debt, and more. TMSF’s remit includes the ability to invest across maturities, as well, using derivatives to manage interest rate or credit risk.
Together, that has helped the active income ETF produce some solid yields. TMSF offered a 5.99% 30-day SEC standardized yield as of June 30th, per T. Rowe Price data. What’s more, the active income ETF has also delivered a 6.3% yield to maturity as of the same date. Its current yield sat at 5.69% as of that date per T. Rowe Price data, as well.

Looking ahead, what might make TMSF stand out relative to other income ETFs? Rather than just track an index, TMSF’s active focus and use of research can help. It looks across category limits to find the strongest sources of income. What’s more, if events or rate market shifts impact holdings, it can swap what it holds to continue to produce. That flexibility may make TMSF a strong long term hold for those wanting to upgrade their income ETFs.
