Our call on how ETFs are eating the market starts in 30 minutes
Join Quartz membership editor Walter Frick and Elizabeth MacBride, author of this week’s field guide, at 11am ET for a discussion about exchange-traded funds and how they’ve changed capital markets. Click here to join the call.
The value of ETFs reached $5.46 trillion this year, nearly five times what it was a decade ago, attracting investors by making it much easier and cheaper to own and trade big groups of stocks.
Among the topics we’ll discuss are:
- The pros and cons of ETFs for retail and institutional investors
- The impact ETFs have had on the stock market, and on the market’s role in funding innovation
- Why ETFs didn’t democratize investing the way proponents hoped
We’ll be taking questions and comments live on the video conference call at this time or you can also send questions in advance to [email protected].
