In this episode of Leaders Talks, etf.com Editor-in-Chief Kristin Myers speaks with Aaron Marks, a member of the Leaders Top 100 list, about why he uses ETFs in client portfolios and an increasingly popular investment strategy: using 351 exchanges. 

“Over time you have conviction over certain things,” Marks said. “What do I do that gets me exposure to the stock market in a cost-effective, tax-efficient way? ETFs.” 

Marks also shared details about his journey to become a financial advisor, which included knowing he wanted a career in finance since he was in the fifth grade. He also admitted one of his financial mistakes: investing in sports memorabilia.
