8 September 2020: Today, the Financial Times and TrackInsight, a global data and analytics platform, announce a new section on FT.com designed to provide readers with the latest independent insights on Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
The ETF Hub combines FT news and expert opinion on the fund management industry with TrackInsight data and analysis on over 6,000 globally listed ETFs. The Hub aims to equip readers with the information they need to make investment decisions around ETFs, including a unique screener tool to help investors navigate the thousands of ETF options available to them, and a daily smart insights section to highlight exceptional one-day performance or flows.
The ETF Hub also showcases the best of the FT's investment coverage, pulling together original and curated news, features and comment pieces from an international network of correspondents and editors led by Emma Boyde, ETF Hub news editor, Peter Smith, FT asset management editor, and Steve Johnson, ETF correspondent. The Hub will also draw on contributions from FT Special Reports, Moral Money and FT Specialist titles Ignites Europe and Investors Chronicle.
“We know that FT readers are savvy investors who want high-quality, unbiased information to help them navigate the current climate. The ETF Hub brings world-class journalism and data together in one place so that our readers can more easily assess their investment portfolio through the FT,” said James Lamont, FT director of strategic partnerships. “This is part of a wider effort to make our editorial offering more relevant and personalised for our audience.”
“The explosive growth of ETFs over the last two decades is one of the most significant shifts we’ve seen in the financial services industry, with analysts predicting that ETF assets will reach $12 trillion by the end of 2023,” said Jean-René Giraud, founding CEO of TrackInsight. “We are thrilled to partner with the FT and help its readers make more informed investment decisions.”
The ETF Hub will be accessible to non-FT subscribers until January 2021.
