ETF selectors discuss how they are using ETFs in their portfolio construction; the robo-adviser offering – robo-advisers using ETFs are attracting mass assets – how and why?
Many asset managers were awaiting the regulatory technical standards (the draft RTS) to decide whether to launch an ELTIF. ESMA finally published its final draft RTS end of last year, which contains provisions on minimum holding periods, minimum notice period, minimum liquid assets and maximum redemption limits. Therefore, it would be a really timely topic to access anticipated inflows to such funds from different channels.
The discussion could also cover LPs’ due diligence processes for selecting semi-liquid private assets, the importance of ESG integration in semi-liquid products and share best practices for evaluating ELTIFs.
Before the panel session we could share our research on private wealth investors' allocation to private assets (ELTIFs, semi-liquid open-ended funds, and LTAFs) along with anticipated changes and wealth managers' preferences for both products and fund managers.
