- What are the recent and expected future trends in ETF, ETP, and Mutual Fund flows?
- Will mutual funds rather than ETF’s continue to dominate retirement plan offerings in the future?
- What are the risks to investors when an exchange traded product fails?
- What are the risks/rewards of ETFs or index funds that sample rather than hold all the components of an index?
