- Keating Active ETF (KEAT) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return through income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S.-listed equity securities, including common stock, preferred stock, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and depositary receipts such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs); U.S. Treasury securities or ETFs investing therein; and other ETFs providing exposure to international equities in developed or emerging markets. The fund targets undervalued companies across all market capitalizations—generally those with at least $500 million—assessed for sustainable earnings, future cash flows, defensible industry positions via brands, technology, or geographic advantages, and shareholder returns through buybacks or dividend growth, with a portfolio typically comprising 25 to 40 holdings and current emphasis on the energy sector alongside significant allocations to short-term TIPS bond ETFs, gold miners, energy producers, consumer staples, and telecommunications firms. It operates globally through U.S.-listed instruments, serving long-term equity investors as a complement to passive index funds. KEAT, issued by EA Series Trust and advised by Empowered Funds, LLC with sub-adviser Keating Investment Counselors, Inc., launched on March 27, 2024, and lists on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker KEAT. Keating Investment Counselors, Inc., the sub-adviser and portfolio manager firm founded in 1983 by Jeff Keating, is headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida, where Richard T. Keating, CFA, and Pablo Cavanagh, CFA, lead the strategy reflecting their family's wealth management approach. The fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.85-0.86%, assets under management around $97-104 million, and a quarterly dividend yield of approximately 2.07-2.43% as of mid-2025. In recent developments, KEAT transitioned its Morningstar Category from Large Value to Moderately Aggressive Allocation in November 2024, resulting in an upgraded Neutral Medalist Rating from Negative, aligning with its blended equity-fixed income profile. The fund has sustained steady inflows of about $4.25 million over the past year amid market volatility, with no reported partnerships, acquisitions, funding rounds, or major strategic shifts beyond ongoing portfolio adjustments to emphasize value opportunities in energy and international exposures. It continues to trade at minimal premiums/discounts to NAV, with shares outstanding around 3.26 million.
