The ETF Experience

Hear about the origins of the ETF industry from the individuals who were there from the start. Kevin Quigg and Phil Bak of Exponential ETFs are joined in the studio by Dave Nadig, Managing Director of ETF.com and Steve Schoenfeld, Founder and CIO of BlueStar Indexes (some of the earliest voices to bring ETF research to the masses) to discuss the early days of ETFs, how far they have come and what may be in store for the future of the industry.

Will the asset manager of the future come from the FAANG names? Does Dave Nadig really use the term "Bullpucky"?  These topics and more are covered in this past, present and future episode of the ETF Exceptional Podcast.
