Inside ETFs Kicks Off Sunday

Inside ETFs, the world’s largest ETF conference, kicks off Sunday with ETF University, an in-depth, five-hour refresher course on how ETFs work and the biggest risks and opportunities ETFs investors face.

Bill Bachrach of Values Based Financial Planning will close off the first day with a keynote address about one of the biggest challenges advisors face today: how to add real value for clients in an era of fintech innovation and increasing competition from robo advisors.

The conference, which takes place Sunday through Wednesday in Hollywood, Florida, is expected to host more than 2,000 advisors, investors and ETF industry folks from around the globe.

As ETF.com’s Matt Hougan wrote, “With a record number of ETFs in the pipeline, and new innovations like exchange-traded managed funds coming soon, it’s hard to keep up. Inside ETFs is a one-stop shop for doing just that.”
