Jeff Ptak, CFA, is the managing director for Morningstar Research Services. Prior to that, he held positions as the chief ratings officer, head of global manager research, and president and chief investment officer of Morningstar Investment Services. In this episode, we discuss major new trends affecting the mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) industries, with a special focus on the exponential growth of actively managed ETFs.

 

Rick Ferri, CFA, a long-time Boglehead and investment adviser, hosts the Bogleheads on Investing podcast. The Bogleheads are a group of like-minded individual investors who follow the general investment and business beliefs of John C. Bogle, founder and former CEO of the Vanguard Group. It is a conflict-free community where individual investors reach out and provide education, assistance, and relevant information to other investors of all experience levels at no cost. The organization supports a free forum at Bogleheads.org, and the wiki site is Bogleheads® wiki

 

Since 2000, the Bogleheads have held national conferences in major cities nationwide. Many local Chapters in the US and even a few foreign chapters meet regularly, and New Chapters are added regularly. All Bogleheads activities are coordinated by volunteers who contribute their time and talent.  

 

This podcast is supported by the John C. Bogle Center for Financial Literacy, a non-profit organization approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity on February 6, 2012. Your tax-deductible donation to the Bogle Center is appreciated.
