Ep 10 - Gabriel Hammond, Emles Advisors & the LUXE ETF. This ETF focuses on the insatiable appetite for luxury goods & the Brands that dominate the category

In Episode 10, I talk with a serial entrepreneur, Gabriel Hammond of Emles Advisors.  We talk about Gabriel's start in the business with the Energy & Power Group at Goldman Sachs and the need to create SteelPath, an investment firm that focused exclusively on energy infrastructure as well as his creation of Alerian, a leading energy infrastructure data and analytics company. Alerian created and launched the first real-time index of master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) in 2005. In 2010, SteelPath launched the first MLP mutual fund and Alerian launched the first MLP exchange traded fund. Mr. Hammond sold SteelPath and its mutual funds family to OppenheimerFunds, Inc. in 2012, but remained a portfolio manager until 2014, and he sold Alerian in 2018. In 2019, Mr. Hammond founded Emles Advisors LLC where he serves as the Chief Executive Officer.

Gabriel highlights the virtues of identifying an early new asset class that has enormous return potential and placing a flag early to become the leading brand in the category. We talked about our similar paths in that regard with my creation of the Brands strategy which focuses on an important emerging asset class called "Intangible Assets" via the most relevant brands.  We spend some time dissecting the global luxury goods business and the investment opportunity it offers investors through their Luxury Goods ETF, "LUXE". The Emles Luxury Goods ETF (LUXE) invests in a portfolio of global companies that offer luxury goods across accessories, alcohol, apparel, athleisure, beauty, home and vehicles.  

We also talk about another one of Emles's unique and incredibly timely ETF's, "AMER" the Made in America ETF. The Emles Made in America ETF (AMER) provides investors exposure to companies that potentially stand to benefit from deglobalization and increased manufacturing domestically. An allocation in AMER seeks to provide enhanced return potential through exposure to businesses with headquarters and manufacturing footprints based in the U.S.

There's some clear innovation and important uniqueness in the current roster of ETF's at Emles. 

Lastly, we talked about an Active ETF they will be launching in a month or two and focused on a very underserved, deep value and opportunistic management style. Keep checking back for that new active ETF, I know I will.
