FYI: ETFs’ strengths could become their weaknesses come the event of a financial crisis, according to Pau Morilla-Giner, Chief Information Officer at London & Capital.
Since the last financial crisis in 2008, ETFs have soared in popularity and now accounts for 25 per cent of all US equity trading volumes, up five per cent in the last three years. There was $1tn worth of assets invested in ETFs in 2009 which grew to $5tn by the end of October 2018, says Morilla-Giner.
