“While asset growth in the ETF industry has been tremendous, regulators, investors, ETF managers, brokers, index providers and all of the members of the ETF eco-system have been citing the need for more and better independent education, research and customised assistance to investors seeking to navigate the vast array of products,” she said. “ETF Global Insight has been set up to provide this service across the globe.”
The other founding partners of the new firm are Shane Kelly and Matthew Murray.
Kelly is a veteran of Merrill Lynch, BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. Murray is a former associate at Merrill Lynch and served as an analyst on Fuhr’s team at BlackRock.
“The need for independent research and assistance in navigating the ETF landscape is even greater today than at any time in the past ten years,” Fuhr said. “We believe the industry will see significant change as investors and regulators demand greater transparency, clarity and information which will benefit investors globally.”
