State Street Global Advisors (SSgA), the investment management business of State Street Corporation, announced the appointment of Scott Ebner, as managing director and global head of ETF Product Development.
In this new role, Ebner will be based in State Street Global Advisors’ London office and responsible for developing, enhancing and launching State Street’s exchange traded funds worldwide. He reports to James Ross, senior managing director and global head of Exchange Traded Funds at State Street Global Advisors.
“Scott is a talented and well-respected expert who will help expand our SPDR family to meet increasing demand worldwide,” said Ross. “His experience and expertise offer a unique perspective that will enhance our ETF product development process.”
Ebner joins State Street Global Advisors from NYSE Euronext, where most recently he was senior vice president and Global Head of Exchange Traded Products, overseeing the listing and trading of ETFs, warrants, certificates, structured notes, investment funds and other exchange traded products across NYSE Euronext’s global markets while based in Paris. Mr. Ebner was previously in charge of European Exchange Traded Products for NYSE Euronext.
Prior to joining NYSE Euronext, Scott served as senior vice president of the ETF marketplace at the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).
“I’m excited to join State Street, the firm that created the world’s first exchange traded fund in 1993, and many others that have transformed the market,” said Ebner. “The ETF industry is currently a $1.2 trillion market globally, and despite its tremendous growth over the past seventeen years, additional product innovation and education are critical to unlocking the market’s full potential in the years ahead.”
