...what tokenization means for ETFs, the return of pay-to-play distribution economics, and more. The industry is bigger and more crowded than ever... but bigger doesn't mean built to last. Full conversation here: etf.com/sections/confe…

Just like mutual funds have been quietly shrinking for over a decade, Ben predicts a similar fate for a lot of today's ETF launches. More product ≠ more staying power. Tune into Ben's conversation with Dave Nadig that covers an update on the ETF share class conversion... 👇

At Investment Company Institute's 2026 ETF conference, Morningstar’s Ben Johnson, CFA casually dropped a mind-blowing piece of analysis: ETFs are on pace to outnumber U.S. listed stocks in the coming years. That doesn’t mean they’re all going to last, however. 👇

Just a relentless focus on the few things advisors can actually control: taxes, fees, and structure. His take: even perfect market timing would leave you with less wealth after taxes, so why waste time guessing? Full conversation from Basis Northwest here: etf.com/sections/confe…

When he went looking for a wealth manager for his own family, he couldn't find one worth hiring, so co-founded his own firm instead, Flatrock Wealth Partners. No market predictions. No manager picking. No model portfolios, ever, for anyone. 👇

He built model portfolios for a living. Now he doesn’t use them. John West, CFA spent 25 years on the institutional side of investment management building products, and the narratives to sell them. Then he left. 👇

Advisors aren't choosing product providers, they’re choosing thought partners. The winners here aren't the best stock pickers. They're the best communicators. Follow along with the full conversation: etf.com/sections/confe…

🔹 ETFs now rival active funds in complexity, including factors, overlays, and all. 🔹 The oldest mistake in the book is picking good funds that all overlap. 🔹 The biggest surprise: 351 exchanges now start at just $150K. 👇

"Nobody's opening their emails. Nobody's taking their meetings." That’s industry veteran and independent portfolio strategist Carolyn Barnette, CFA, CFP, CAIA Barnette on asset managers who lead with product, not perspective. Her take, from Basis Northwest with Dave Nadig: 👇

FITZ rebalances 3x a year to dodge the liquidity drag everyone else creates by moving in lockstep. Concentration over diversification. Conviction over comfort. Would you bet on 4% instead of 100%? Full conversation with Brad Roth on Behind the Ticker here: etf.com/sections/podca…

Instead of spreading thin, FITZ concentrates into 20-30 must-have companies selected through a 5D framework built around digitalization as the master theme (yes, that includes Walmart, which Keith argues is really a tech company in disguise). 👇

Keith Fitz-Gerald didn't have some meteoric rise on Wall Street. He started with a lawn-mowing business, made his first trades at 15, and calls himself the guy who made every investing mistake in the book the hard way, before eventually building One Bar Ahead... 👇

Dave Nadig and Sumit Roy sat down with Cinthia Murphy (VettaFi), Jeffrey Ptak, CFA (Morningstar), and Todd Sohn (Baird Strategas). We hope everyone has a safe holiday and gets plenty of rest before Monday’s big trading day! Full convo here: etf.com/sections/podca…

🔹 Where flows have gone at the mid-year point 🔹Jeff’s recent trip to testify before Congress about ETF regulation 🔹 The messy reality of SpaceX access funds ahead of the Nasdaq-100 buy-in 🔹 The massive amount of money going to leveraged products this year 👇

The Nasdaq-100 is primed to add SpaceX on Monday, Micron is up ~800% in a year and yet somehow still qualifies as a value stock, and the top performing ETF isn’t an AI play. Those are just some of the topics we hit on in the latest episode of The ETF Zoo. 👇

In fact, it's one that actually held up in 2022 when stocks AND bonds fell double digits. The full conversation with ETF.com’s Dave Nadig is worth your time. etf.com/sections/confe…

Investors either love private credit or hate it. Phil Huber of Cliffwater says both camps are missing the point. At Basis Northwest, he made a simple case: direct lending isn't a silver bullet, but 20+ years of data shows it can be a thid pillar of a diversified portfolio.👇

And why the independent advisor now has a tool the big banks can't match. The momentum is just getting started. Tune into the full conversation here: etf.com/sections/confe…

Most advisors have clients sitting on portfolios full of low-basis winners with nowhere to go. The 351 exchange changes that. Ryan Kirlin of Alpha Architect joined Dave Nadig while at Basis Northwest to break down how $5 billion has already moved through this strategy... 👇
