Episode notes
Early ETF Adoption
- Shaun Parkin's first role at SSGA involved introducing ETFs to institutional clients.
- Family offices, unlike institutions, quickly grasped ETF benefits, especially access to broader markets.
Portfolio Completion with ETFs
- Use ETFs for portfolio completion, filling gaps in asset allocation.
- This is especially useful for smaller allocations to specific asset classes or sectors.
Tactical Asset Allocation with ETFs
- Employ ETFs for tactical asset allocation (TAA) due to their efficiency in short-term, opportunistic moves.
- This avoids engaging a manager for brief allocations, focusing on cost-effective market exposure.
