While the financial crisis has dampened many investment vehicles, ripped apart balance sheets and reduced available capital across the board, the exchange-traded funds (ETF) market has continued to enjoy substantial growth. Financial firms are developing new and innovative products to take advantage of the current market dislocation, and the flexibility, fee structure and range of available ETF products are enticing risk-averse investors to include them in their mandates.

Join Joseph Keenan, Managing Director, Head of Relationship Management at BNY Mellon Asset Servicing as he moderates a panel of leading ETF Sponsors who’ll share their insights on the challenges and opportunties facing investors in this burgeoning market.

Panelist Dan O'Neill, President and Chief Investment Officer at Direxion Funds, Bill Thomas, Chief Executive Officer at Grail Advisors, Bruce Bond, President at Powershares and Bruce Lavine President and Chief Operations Officer at WisdomTree Investments examine how the financial crisis has impacted this product group, how asset managers and institutional investors are using ETFs to diversify their portfolios, increase returns and mitigate risk, and which asset classes are presenting the greatest opportunities for returns.
