Now in its fourth year, the ETF Product Development Summit provides delegates with essential coverage and insight of key ETF industry and product development themes. It attracts a sophisticated audience of investment professionals from across the asset management industry, representing potential new entrants to the ETF market, existing issuers and participants in the wider ETF ecosystem.

For fund management companies not yet active in the ETF space, the summit offers a “one stop shop” on how to enter this fast-growing market and provides an opportunity to hear from industry-leading vendors, service providers and market participants who can guide prospective new issuers through the ETF launch process and life-cycle, from product conception and design, through to listing, cross-listing and beyond.

For existing ETF issuers, the summit addresses important industry trends, explores product themes primed for development, and assesses the various projects and initiatives that are designed to increase ETF adoption and enhance efficiency.

The summit is based around six core pillars (Industry Landscape, Product Innovation, Market Structure, Operational Infrastructure, Distribution, and Regulation) and features involvement from ETF administrators, custodians and asset servicers, fund lawyers and compliance consultants, stock exchanges and RFQ platforms, index providers, white-label platforms, market makers and authorised participants, strategy consultants, and financial data providers.
