ETF’s – A positive Force of Disruption

The fifth annual ETF report entitled ‘ETF’s – A positive Force of Disruption’ explored how ETF’s are increasingly gaining momentum and reshaping the wider wealth and asset management sector.  In addition, we explored how innovation is fuelling growth and how the industry will adapt to ensure that this growing influence remains positive.

We were delighted to have very high profile speakers from the top ETF providers in Europe to discuss the key trends and challenges for 2016 and beyond.
