FYI: ETF.com managing director Dave Nadig is one of the most prolific thought leaders in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Indeed, at Barclays Global Investors, he was instrumental in the development of some of the earliest ETFs.
Nadig will be speaking at the Inside Smart Beta & Active ETFs Summit on 6– 7 June 2018 in New York City, where he will join smart beta pioneer Rob Arnott of Research Affiliates, among other luminaries, to assess what the future looks like for these investment vehicles.
Given the rapid growth of ETFs and smart beta, we wanted to get Nadig’s perspective on the evolution of these instruments as well as the criticism they have evoked. Below is a lightly edited transcript of our conversation.
Regards,
Ted
