Supplement
The index and ETF industry is in constant change and has revolutionized the way people invest. With new products launching every day, now more than ever investors need to be armed with the right tools when making decisions for their clients’ portfolios. Innovation continues as products such as smart beta and thematic funds go mainstream. Competition among fund management players is heating up too, leaving many products behind or forcing them to close.
