Overview

Exchange-Traded Funds: A Catalyst for Change and Growth

The Exchange Traded Fund, or ETF, industry is characterized by two key elements: rapid evolution and exponential growth, both in terms of number of products and assets under management.

ETF assets recently hit $1 trillion in the United States and more than $1.5 trillion in total assets globally. While a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the global funds industry, it is their exponential growth - more than 45 percent last year alone - that demonstrates their ever increasing popularity as a flexible and cost-efficient tool capturing the interests of investors around the globe.

ETFs are an exciting instrument that can be used as a simple and efficient way to invest. These baskets of securities - bonds, stocks, commodities or currencies are listed on major stock exchanges and trade just like stocks, in real time, throughout the world. Investors can implement the same strategies with an ETF that they could do with a normal stock, including short selling, buying on margin and relying upon stop losses, but coupled with the demonstrated benefits of diversification and low cost.

So what's next for ETFs? Join Joseph Keenan, Managing Director, Global Financial Institutions, BNY Mellon Asset Servicing as he offers his insight on Exchange Traded Funds. At BNY Mellon, they believe the industry is primed for continued exponential growth, and they assert that there are significant reasons for the great potential of these products.
