Hi everyone,
In this week’s Smart Investing, Senior Personal Finance Writer Tony Kaye takes a look at last quarter’s ETF flows and which market segments are attracting the greatest investor attention.
We also provide an introduction to active ETFs and how they differ from index-managed ETFs and actively managed funds.
Lastly, we have included a piece by our Chief Economist for Asia-Pacific, Qian Wang, on the potential long-term trajectory for China’s economy.
