Why do exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make sense for today’s investors? Maybe it’s tax efficiencies, availability, lower fees, diversification, or a mixture of all of these and more. Today’s ETF market segment is rapidly evolving, with no shortage of product evolution, industry commentary, and data analysis. Experienced ETF professionals, such as Tom Lydon and Dave Nadig of ETF Trends and ETF Database, are able to sift through the noise and effectively encapsulate the evolving trends in the ETF arena.

Recently Ultimus collaborated with Tom and Dave for an in-depth Q&A session on ETF trends. Their insightful knowledge will help investment managers analyze the opportunities available, understand the outlook of the industry, and define strategies for their investments. Ultimately, this conversation should help investment managers decide whether ETFs should be the next investment vehicle in their product offering.

Investing in a Spot Bitcoin ETF/ETP - Key Compliance Considerations for Fund Managers

On January 10, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) granted approval to spot bitcoin exchange-traded products, a little over 10 years after the first application with the SEC to create a spot bitcoin product. Within the first three days of trading, bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) pulled in just under $900 million from investors. While it may be tempting to jump on the bandwagon to invest in a spot bitcoin ETF, there are several matters that investment advisers of registered mutual funds (or exchange-traded funds) should consider before adding this asset class to a fund’s investment strategy.

Key Considerations When Selecting a Fund Administrator

Due to the increased investor transparency requirements and a heightened need to maintain regulatory compliance in recent years, there has been a shift toward fund managers outsourcing more back-office functions to third-party administrators. In the competitive market space, it’s critical that fund managers complete their due diligence when selecting a fund administrator and factor in key considerations such as technology, experience, servicing capabilities, and cost.

Toward the Future of Friction-Free Fund Administration

In the competitive landscape of fund administration, technology stands out as a primary differentiator among service providers. As the financial industry evolves and regulatory requirements become more stringent, fund administrators increasingly rely on innovative technological solutions to enhance their offerings and stay ahead of the curve.
