- Natixis Vaughan Nelson Select ETF (VNSE) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. large- and mid-cap equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and real estate investment trusts (REITs); the fund employs a high-conviction, concentrated strategy with 20-30 holdings focused on companies exhibiting undervalued assets, earnings growth potential, or attractive dividend yields, utilizing bottom-up fundamental research to exploit temporary market inefficiencies. Launched on September 17, 2020, and domiciled in the United States, VNSE trades on the NYSE Arca exchange with assets under management of approximately $13.5 million and a net expense ratio of 0.80%; it benchmarks against the S&P 500 Index while maintaining high active share relative to the index. The ETF is issued by Natixis ETF Trust II, advised by Natixis Advisors, L.P., and co-managed by Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P., a Houston, Texas-based boutique affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers founded in 1970. Vaughan Nelson Investment Management oversees the portfolio with a team led by Christopher Wallis and Scott Weber, emphasizing a consistent value-oriented process across market capitalizations; top holdings as of recent data include NVIDIA Corp., Microsoft Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. ADR, Alphabet Inc. Class A, and Amazon.com Inc., representing exposure to technology, financials, healthcare, and industrials sectors. Geographically, the fund concentrates on U.S. equities (over 90% allocation), with minor non-U.S. stock exposure and cash holdings. In recent developments, VNSE transitioned from a semi-transparent to a fully transparent structure as of February 1, 2024, enabling daily portfolio disclosure while maintaining active management integrity, a shift that aligned it with broader Natixis ETF lineup enhancements leveraging affiliate expertise. Vaughan Nelson, managing approximately $17.3 billion in equity and fixed income assets as of June 30, 2025, continues to expand its ETF offerings, including the related Natixis Vaughan Nelson Mid Cap ETF (VNMC), amid strong performance that earned VNSE a five-star Morningstar rating as of December 31, 2023. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, or strategic alliances specific to VNSE were reported in the last 1-2 years, though Natixis Investment Managers has pursued ETF growth through affiliate-managed products.
