FYI: This week, we speak with Dave Nadig, managing director of CBOE’s ETF.com. Nadig helped design some of the first ETFs as managing director at BGI, and as co-founder of Cerulli Associates, he conducted some of the earliest research on fee-only financial advisers and the rise of indexing. Previously, he was director of ETFs at FactSet Research Systems.
Nadig is the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to ETFs. He understands all of the specifics of how ETFs are formed, launched, maintained, bought and sold.
We discuss some of the upcoming changes to the SEC regulations of ETFs; why 3 firms dominate the ETF universe, but a Darwinian battle for survival is brewing for the 2300 ETFs trading today. Last, why the Bitcoin ETF faces an uphill battle.
Regards,
Ted
