I often wonder if Don Draper is real and actually works in the ETF industry because boy, can some of these managers really put a spin on how they are positioning Active ETFs.
Do women care less about salaries than men?
We are currently conducting a global ETF salary survey, which has been open for two weeks now. Looking at the engagement last week, there was one trend that immediately stood out to us. Women only represent 12% of our results so far. WOW, we thought, how can that be?
