Has The ETF Flood Spilled Beyond Traditional Beta?
FYI: Smart beta ETFs, active ETFs, and ESG ETFs all continue to get lots of attention, but can they catch the truly big kahunas of the space? Will 2018 be the year that the ETF flood reaches beyond traditional big beta in a big way? Maybe, but just as active managers expecting a performance comeback in a predicted market dip should not expect passive's flows to just disappear, non-traditional ETF shops should not expect big beta to stop being a flows juggernaut any time soon.
