More products, more players, more challenges
ETF & Indexing Investments Europe will gather together the leading end-investors to showcase how some of the greatest opportunities globally can be truly accessed through ETFs.
With demand for ETFs continuing to rise from an increasing range of investors, new developments in
exchange traded funds are moving at a fast pace as more and more players break into the market. With this ETF evolution, comes new challenges for the asset allocator.
Investors are finding it increasingly difficult to differentiate and compare the many similar equity ETFs that are offered. What criteria should investors be using to choose between funds? And with 2 managers tracking the same index – how will the results differ? And that’s just in the
equities market!
Opportunities beyond equities
Investor appetite for emerging markets is driving the manufacture of new vehicles and demand is growing for alternatives such as commodities, volatility, interest rates and hedge funds. However, the rush of new products is confusing for investors, even the more seasoned users, and with short performance records and fluctuating regulations for some of these product offerings, selecting
the best ETFs is a challenge.
