In a year which has thrown unprecedented challenges at asset managers, with both fixed income and equities experiencing drawdowns and volatility, ETFs in the US are on course to have their second highest inflows.
The ETF Express US Awards, held in Manhattan at the prestigious Metropolitan Club, this week, were an opportunity to celebrate all that is great in this great industry.
Our winners are selected through a robust methodology with ETF issuers selected by our data partners, Trackinsight, and service providers through a nomination process. Both categories of winners are then subject to peer voting and the firms with the most votes win.
