On July 23, Hubbis will host a virtual Digital Dialogue panel discussion on Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and their rising prominence for the wealth management community in Asia.

There has been a rising tide of interest in Asia for ETFs in Asia in recent years and their effectiveness as part of any sound portfolio has been even more sharply in the spotlight during the Covid-19 created market volatility this year, particularly for the performance and especially liquidity they offered during the times of greatest stress.

The discussion will range over the global rise of the ETF phenomenon, their effectiveness in sophisticated and robust portfolios, their value for self-directed investors and, for the wealth advisers of Asia, for advisory and DPM. We will look at ETFs and the curation of portfolio models via robo-advisory. And the panel will discuss the arrival of ETF-only portfolios, and essentially the encouragement to adopt a more comprehensive portfolio approach for the wealth management community, based on clearly defined goals, and in which ETFs play an increasingly important role is smart and robust portfolio construction.

Fixed income ETFs have proven themselves to offer investors both liquidity and performance, especially during the market stresses of Q1, 2020. In fact, when investors were suddenly faced with underlying bond markets that were largely illiquid in March, many institutions, instead of their traditional approach of buying single bonds, bought into fixed income ETFs due to the liquidity, speed of execution, and transparency.

And as the world’s leading investors gravitate increasingly towards sustainability and social impact, Asian investors are increasingly interested in ESG ETFs, and the wealth management advisory community is reporting more and more conversations on and adoption of ESG strategies, which can also be efficiently incorporated via the growing universe of ESG ETFS.

Asia was before the pandemic in a period of rising sophistication in the overall approach to HNW and UHNW portfolios. The discussion on July 23 will shine the light on the latest advances and look ahead to ever more ETF adoption in the years ahead.
