Last week, on Thursday, August 20, Guggenheim Investments bolstered its library of active ETFs with the launch of two new funds. Both of the new ETFs offer their own distinct approaches to fostering income through active management.Key Takeaways: Guggenheim Investments is growing its active ETF library through the release of two new income solutions. The Guggenheim Enhanced Equity Income ETF (GEEQ) seeks income through equity exposure, dividends, and options, while the Guggenheim Investment Grade CLO ETF (GCLO) provides disciplined exposure to investment-grade CLOs. Guggenheim’s new funds come online as many investors and advisors are seeking to foster income through active management. One of the new funds is the Guggenheim Enhanced Equity Income ETF (GEEQ). GEEQ’s goal is to provide dynamic income through equities known for paying strong dividends. The fund has a net expense ratio of 35 basis points. GEEQ’s strategy focuses on a two-fold approach. First, the fund invests in companies with a strong track record of paying potent dividends. From there, GEEQ’s portfolio team uses a covered call strategy to amplify income and potentially mitigate risk.

Like GEEQ, GCLO’s net expense ratio sits at 0.35%. As the fund’s title suggests, GCLO focuses its allocations towards investment grade CLOs. However, GCLO may opt to invest up to 10% of its net assets into CLOs rated below investment grade. This can help the fund activate yield opportunities that other investment grade CLO ETFs may miss out on.

Together with GISC and GCSH, they mark meaningful progress in scaling our active ETF platform to meet growing demand for income-oriented solutions.” These funds all come online at a crucial juncture for fixed income investors. With the fate of rate cuts relatively uncertain, active management can help investors both pursue opportunistic income and become better positioned to ride out shifting conditions. With GEEQ and GCLO now available on the market, Guggenheim now has four funds within its growing fixed income suite. One of Guggenheim’s other recently released ETFs, the Guggenheim Securitized Income ETF (GISC), has a 30-day SEC yield of 5.18%, as of July 31, 2026.
