I attended today's ETF conference at the London Stock Exchange, and here are some of the main topics of debate.

Which asset class represents one of the most complicated forms of derivatives?  Equities, of course.

Watching news reports of the election aftermath in the US, it is difficult not to be moved.  One can feel the palpable sense of relief amongst so many Americans, and observers worldwide, at the impending change of presidency.
