ETF Champion of the Year Ken MacNeal believes ETFs are the perfect vehicle to negotiate this tricky terrain. “When you are doing something that is unfamiliar to you in certain industries or countries other than Canada, you can use ETFs as a vehicle for doing that,” MacNeal said. “It gives you a way of buying an industry instead of an individual company, especially in those areas that you’re not familiar with.”
“I really, really wanted to win because I want to really promote the use of ETFs, and this will give me a little bit of a soapbox to do that” KEN MACNEAL Richardson GMP

Trevor Cummings, head of business development for ETFs at award sponsor RBC Global Asset Management, outlined how his firm is facilitating these opportunities. “RBC is a relatively new player in the exchange-traded fund space,” Cummings said. “But we continue to add value by launching a number of rules-based and active solutions for investors, and they’ve proven to be very popular, so we wanted to make this award a benefit to our ETF users – the portfolio managers and advisors out there who have decided to use ETFs in their practices.” PROUDLY SPONSORED BY
