Deep dives

Background and Motivation for Music ETF Creation

The founder and CEO of the Music Global Music Industry ETF, David Scholhoff, noticed a lack of public music companies that could be traded about 10 years ago. Recognizing the evolving landscape of the music industry with the emergence of various companies globally, he shifted his focus from a publishing company to creating a portable way for investors to access the music industry. This led to the design of an index and the launch of the first music ETF, aiming to capture the growth of the music sector.
