What's driving demand in the ETP space?

Recent industry and regulatory developments have expanded the types of ETPs that issuers can bring to market and streamlined the process for launching new funds. New products include non-transparent and semi-transparent ETFs that do not have to disclose their holdings on a daily basis, leveraged, inverse, and inverse-leveraged funds, and cryptocurrency related products. Our professionals can guide you through the benefits, risks and strategies surrounding these and other ETFs.
