# Scott Davis &amp; Dave Nadig Conversation - Full Transcript

## Opening: Puns, Metaphors, and Active, Oh my!

**Davis:** We're about getting people off the sidelines and into actively managed strategies.

**Nadig:** Okay, so we're going to serve over this liquidity gap. That's what we're going to do.

**Davis:** There's a whole metaphor here.

**Davis:** Okay, we'll get a few over now.

## Getting Active With More Than ETFs at Future Proof

**Nadig:** I’m here with Scott Davis at, obviously, Capital Group, Head of ETFs. Why are we standing on a pickleball court?

**Davis:** We're having fun here at Future Proof. We brought a pickleball court because pickleball's one of the fastest growing sports. There’s 20 million Americans playing it, and, you know, it’s fast growing. We're encouraging people to get active. The other thing that's growing quite quickly is active ETFs and we're talking about those as well.

**Nadig:** Okay, I get the pair there. Is there an interval fund angle here I'm missing?

**Davis:** Those are growing quickly as well. So we're about getting people off the sidelines and into actively managed strategies.

**Nadig:** Okay, so we're going to serve over this liquidity gap. That's what we're going to do.

**Davis:** There's a whole metaphor here, but yeah, we can avoid this area and have some fun.

**Nadig:** Okay, I've never played pickleball, what do I do?

**Davis:** All right, one rule, you gotta stay out of the kitchen. Other than that, just hit the ball over the net and we'll rally a bit.

**Nadig:** All right, so no snacking, rally.

**Davis:** Yes.

**Nadig:** Got it. All right, let's go.

**Davis:** All right.

**Nadig:** The rally means we have to go both ways?

15 years of squash.

**Davis:** Yeah, we'll get a few over now. *laughter*

Go lower than you think.

**Nadig:** This is the pathetic. Taking the L. Taking the L.

**Davis:** Thanks, Dave.
