| Dear reader, USD6.35 trillion. That’s the total recorded value of assets in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) from early 2020, according to ETFGI. In Europe alone, ETFs are now worth over USD1 trillion. The financial instrument has risen in popularity over recent years due to its low cost, transparency and liquidity — but also its flexibility, with investors able to choose between active or passive management, thematic or vanilla indices, et cetera. If you're curious about what ETFs could add to a portfolio, or looking to hear industry-leading perspectives on the future of the instrument, you're invited to claim your free spot at etfLIVE Europe. We're also thrilled to welcome a diverse panel of speakers — check them out here. We hope to see you there (virtually) on 19 May! Kind regards, Beverly Chandler
