Columbia Corporate Bond ETF (CCRP) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return, consisting primarily of current income and capital appreciation, through a focus on investment-grade corporate bonds. The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in such bonds issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, including debt instruments across various maturities and credit qualities within the investment-grade spectrum; it benchmarks performance to the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index and employs flexible positioning for opportunistic strategies overseen by portfolio managers Tom Murphy, Royce D. Wilson, and John Dawson. CCRP trades on the NYSE Arca exchange with an expense ratio of 0.35% for the base share class, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking fixed income exposure.
Launched in December 2025 as part of a suite of six new ETFs introduced by Columbia Threadneedle Investments, CCRP represents the firm's expansion into actively managed fixed income strategies alongside equity offerings such as the Columbia Research Enhanced Small Cap ETF (RESM), Columbia Research Enhanced Mid Cap ETF (REMC), and Columbia Research Enhanced International Equity ETF (REFA). This launch enhances Columbia Threadneedle's U.S.-based ETF lineup to 20 funds, with half actively managed, building on recent European expansions like the QR (Quant Redefined) ETF Series. The ETF operates under Columbia ETF Trust I, with no reported acquisitions, partnerships, or reorganizations specific to CCRP since inception.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments, the issuer, maintains headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, and provides investment products globally, though CCRP focuses on U.S.-listed securities with primary exposure to developed market corporate debt. The fund serves a broad investor base including financial intermediaries, with shares available through standard brokerage channels.
