Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: In March, State Street Global Advisors’ SPDR SSGA Gender Diversity Index ETF (SHE) took home five awards from the annual ETF.com Awards, more than any fund before. The fund was one of the most important launches of 2016, bursting out of the gate with a heavy seeding from teacher pension fund CalSTRS, which helped develop the fund. Lynn Blake is an executive vice president at State Street and the CIO of global equity beta solutions, where she is also the fund’s lead portfolio manager. Here, she discusses the investment argument underlying the fund and how it came into being. Regards, Ted http://www.etf.com/sections/features-and-news/she-gender-diversity-smart-beta-meet?nopaging=1
