Columbia Threadneedle Investments Launches Two New Laddered Buffer ETFs

Columbia Threadneedle Investments launched two new actively managed ETFs: the Columbia RECS Laddered Moderate Buffer ETF (RECM) and the Columbia RECS Laddered Deep Buffer ETF (RECD).
The new funds mark the firm's entry into the laddered buffer ETF category to help investors participate in equity growth while managing downside risk.
RECM \& RECD utilize the Research Enhanced Core (RECS) Strategy for the underlying equity portfolios paired with time-laddered quarterly put option contracts.
This expansion brings Columbia Threadneedle's total ETF lineup to 25 funds with assets under management growing to $13.4 billion as of September 30, 2026.
Both RECM \& RECD carry a gross \& net fee of 0.69% \& are managed by a team including Brian Virginia, Corey Lorenzen, Chris Lo, Henry Hom, \& Jason Wang.
RECM targets investors seeking capital appreciation with reduced volatility during moderate market declines, while RECD targets protection against deep market declines.
The products allow advisors to align the research-driven RECS core portfolio with client goals across equity exposure, income generation, \& downside protection strategies.
