Transparency: Is it beneficial for all ETF investors?

The new generation of Active ETFs

Not just index tracking anymore - Active ETFs have redefined investors perception of what ETFs can offer, and a new generation of non-transparent Active ETFs are helping push the boundaries even further.

While transparency is often touted as a key benefit of ETFs, non-transparent Active ETFs have proven to be popular with investors. This supports the findings of our 2021 Global ETF Survey that showed that transparency was ranked 4th, behind low costs, diversification and ease of trading as the reason that investors choose to use ETFs.

ETF information overload & decision making

At Trackinsight, we believe that all investors should have access to the same information when they are choosing investment products, but how much information is useful and can too much information actually make the decision-making process harder and more difficult?

In this webinar, the panel examines the value and purpose of transparency, challenging the notion held by many that all transparency is beneficial to market participants.

Featuring speakers:

• Roy Zimmerhansl, Partner, Pierpoint Financial Consulting
• John Arnesen, Consulting Lead, Pierpoint Financial Consulting
• Stuart Fieldhouse, Director, Hawksmoor Partners
• Simon Mott, CMO, Trackinsight
