On Tuesday 15 March, during the Edhec Risk Days that took place at the Brewery in London, the first TrackInsight award ceremony rewarded the four most efficient blockbuster ETFs in major exposures widely used by institutional investors:
- European Large Cap Equities
- North America Large Cap Equities
- Emerging Market Equities

For each category, a detailed analysis of average daily volumes and assets under management allowed to determine funds qualified as blockbusters. Amongst those blockbusters, funds eligible to the TrackInsight A-list (see TrackInsight European ETF rating methodology) exhibiting the best tracking difference over three years made it to the final winners list.
