Innovations in ETF Investing: A Deep Dive with Mike Venuto, Tidal’s CIO
In this exclusive interview, we sit down with Mike Venuto, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Tidal Financial Group, to discuss the fascinating world of ETFs. Tidal Financial is a leading ETF investment technology platform, managing over $29 billion in assets across 183 ETFs, including popular brands like YieldMax, Defiance, Amplify, Sofi, and Cambria.
Mike shares insights into the latest ETF innovations, the growing active ETF landscape, and the introduction of two F.I.R.E. (Financial Independence Retire Early) focused ETFs—FIRS and FIRI. We also explore Tidal's unique approach to portfolio management, compliance, and strategy, as well as their role in supporting thematic ETFs such as CCSO, ETHO, and JSTC.
