S&P Dow Jones Indices to join the next series of ETF Forum roadshows
Tuesday 14th March '17
The ETF Forum, the independent partnership of leading exchange traded product providers created in 2016, has announced that S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) will join the next series of adviser roadshows, which kicks off on 6 June.
S&P Dow Jones Indices is the largest global resource for essential index-based concepts, data and research, and home to iconic financial market indicators, such as the S&P 500® and the Dow Jones Industrial Average®.
The company will be joining the next set of seminars, presenting alongside existing members BMO Global Asset Management, ETF Securities, WisdomTree, and the London Stock Exchange. S&P DJI will seek to provide a perspective on the adoption of index-based solutions worldwide and will discuss how their experience with US-based advisors can be applied in the UK.
The roadshows, which begin in Exeter before moving across the UK to locations including Glasgow, Jersey and Manchester, are free to attend and are CPD-accredited, providing an educational overview of ETFs for attendees.
A wider variety of topics will also be included in the next series of roadshows, including how and why ETFs have been adopted in other global markets, such as Canada and Australia.
Nizam Hamid, spokesperson for the ETF Forum, said: “We are delighted to have S&P Dow Jones Indices on board for the next series of adviser roadshows. After a successful first year we really wanted to provide extra value to the adviser community and by having such a prestigious and established global name joining us we feel we can take ETF education to the next level. S&P DJI is known for its market leading indices and we hope this expertise will feed down to the advisers that attend to help develop the UK’s usage of ETFs.”
Last year, nearly three-quarters of attendees (72%) said the ETF Forum had changed their desire to include ETFs in client portfolios, and almost 90% said they anticipate using lower cost funds for their clients in the next two years.
In addition to the series of roadshows, the ETF Forum also has a dedicated website to provide ongoing information to advisers, which can be found at www.etf-forum.co.uk.
