Harbor Capital Advisors head of distribution John Halaby said: “This expansion of our investment options reflects Harbor’s commitment to delivering clients a diverse range of active, cost-aware investment solutions that seek to add more opportunity for return than enhanced index options given elevated expectations around volatility.
“We know this is top-of-mind for advisors and want to deliver Harbor solutions that they can use that address client concerns.
