As someone very wise recently said to me when referring to the ETF market “the barrier to entry has never been lower but the barrier to success has never been higher”. How true is that.
Flying to the moon, Ethereum crashes the party, and the rise of Finfluencers
This week we saw a number of ETF managers break through various AUM milestones which is obviously good news for them and a sign the industry is motoring. And it got me thinking, what could Elon achieve if he launched his own ETF business?
