This New ETF Demonstrates Wall Street’s Unbridled Hunger For Millennial Money

FYI: If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Or, in the case of Wall Street vis-à-vis millennials, if they befuddle you, figure out a way to make money from them.

  • I remember the old Stein Roe Young Investors Fund in the 80s and 90s ... was "the" thing parents would gift to their kids and/or many people owned as their first investment, and I owned some myself. It owned the things a "young investor" would be interested in and/or using as they started their careers. But that was when folks entered the markets for long-term investments, not short-term hype-cycle-driven trading-through-ADHD. :/

    Not sure how popular this latest thematic ETF will be though. Nevertheless, I wonder if GlobalX is already planning for the "Aging Millennials ETF" in a few years......because, hey, there's always someone willing to buy something, right?
