In what has been a year of extreme turmoil and unprecedented challenges, the team at ETF Express is very pleased to announce the winners of this year’s ETF Express US Awards, compiled in conjunction with Bloomberg.
The winners represent the best in the US ETF industry, from issuers to service providers, covering all parts of the ETF ecosystem.
Our partners in the awards, Bloomberg, provided the shortlisted nominations for the top performing ETF issuers across a range of asset classes and these, along with the service provider categories, were then voted on by the industry.
This means that winning an ETF Express award constitutes a vote of recognition from your peers and a significant mark of achievement, particularly so in this extraordinary year.
The winners were invited to a virtual awards networking ceremony that included a welcome address from ETF Express managing editor, Beverly Chandler, and a keynote speech by Scott Szever, director, Exchange Traded Products at the New York Stock Exchange.
