The TMX VettaFi business segment is less than a year old, but it is already getting recognized for the breadth of its capabilities. Last week, we were named a finalist by ETF Express in four award categories. Voting remains open for the next few weeks.
VettaFi is a two-time winner of the ‘Best Research’ award and is a finalist in that category in 2024. In addition, the firm is on the shortlist for three index categories, including ‘Best US Index Overall Provider’. VettaFi is also a finalist as the best equity and the best commodity index provider. These are all noteworthy recognitions by ETF Express.
Who is VettaFi?
In May 2022, the teams from ETF Trends, ETF Database, Alerian and S-Network Global Indexes merged to form VettaFi. Over the next two years, VettaFi acquired Advisor Perspectives, the leading publisher for financial advisors, and strengthened its index offering with the acquisition of ROBO Global Index Suite and EQM Indexes. In January 2024, TMX Group Limited completed its acquisition of VettaFi. We continue to grow.
