GC Webcast: Supporting the dramatic ETF ascent

  |     |  

Date: 14 September 2022
Time: 10am ET/3pm BST

The meteoric rise of the ETF is showing no signs of slowing down in 2022, with total ETF assets under management jumping almost 30% year-on-year to top $10 trillion in 2021. The investment vehicle proved its mettle throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, with the emerging trend of mutual fund to ETF conversions and growing popularity of actively managed ETFs adding to that success.

With the growth in popularity of the investment vehicle, so too grows the expectation from managers for up-to-date, seamless servicing products and services. Following the publication of the 2022 ETF Administration survey, this webinar seeks to address the following key questions:

  • How are fund services providers catering for this explosion in growth?
  • What new requests, needs and expectations are providers seeing from clients?
  • Are the challenges universal or do they differ by jurisdiction?
  • Where is the industry excelling, and which areas need to catch up?
