In the rapidly expanding ETF community, it can be hard to stand out. So it is with pride and gratitude that TMX VettaFi shares that it received three ETF Express awards last week.
TMX VettaFi is now a three-time winner of the ‘Best Research’ award. It also received the ‘Best US Index Overall Provider’ and the ‘Best Index Provider – Equity ETFs’ awards. The ETF Express awards are chosen in part based on voting by the ETF industry.
Brian Coco, TMX VettaFi’s head of index product, and I joined leaders from across the ETF ecosystem at the awards celebration in New York. It was exciting to see many of our partners in attendance receiving their own accolades.
VettaFi’s Indexing Capabilities
“Winning awards as the Best Index Provider is so special. It shows we continue to earn the trust of our clients,” explained Coco. “It is a testament of our ongoing commitment to provide clients a great experience.”
VettaFi is the index provider behind some well-known ETFs. Those include the Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP ), the American Century US Quality Growth ETF (QGRO ), the Amplify Online Retail ETF (IBUY ), the ROBO Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (ROBO ), and the VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF (VFLO ).
“We continually strive to not just be an index provider, but a partner that can collaborate on innovative new products. TMX VettaFi is using unique datasets and insights that are the result of years of our collective experience in the ETF industry," Coco added. Recent indexes include a global suite of companies that have initiated a dividend in the last three years.
Providing High-Quality Index Research
VettaFi provides index research support for some of the more popular ETFs tied to VettaFi. For example, Stacey Morris and Phil Segal are focused on energy infrastructure, while Zeno Mercer and Rafael Silva write and speak with clients about disruptive technology industries..
“We publish timely and insightful research on energy and energy infrastructure for advisors,” noted Morris. “However, we are also able to leverage our expertise in creating one-of-a-kind indexes for issuers.”
Coverage for Nearly 4,000 Other ETF Children
The TMX VettaFi research team, which I lead, also publishes daily commentary focused on many other U.S. listed ETFs. We consider these funds part of our ETF family too.
The expert insights content found on this platform usually dives into an investment theme and showcases a few related ETFs that provide exposure. Such efforts help us as we are recurring guests on the ETF Prime podcast and appear in print and on financial TV programs on a consistent basis.
“Our research team comes from a wide range of professional backgrounds. This brings several unique perspectives to an always changing industry," noted Roxanna Islam. Islam is head of sector and industry research at TMX VettaFi. “I love working with people who think differently from me and can challenge my ideas in a constructive way.”
Educational content is published on a range of topics including commodities, cryptocurrency, equity, fixed income, and options-based ETFs. Our team also hosts regular virtual events with asset management partners and hundreds of advisors. Indeed last week, approximately 400 live attendees joined us for a three-hour Fixed Income Symposium
“The VettaFi research team is dedicated to delivering timely, topical analysis on valuable trends in the marketplace,” added Kirsten Chang, senior industry analyst at TMX VettaFi. “However, we want to do so in an actionable way that makes it clear our advisor audience is always top of mind.”
