1 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Welcome a trilliance. I'm Joel Webber and Eric. Every January, 2 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: I stay here in New York words really cold, and 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: you get to go to a warm, sunny place called Yeah. 4 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: I mean, I bear. I never see the sun. I'm 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: always inside, nerding out. It's a whirlwind of an event. 6 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: So hence my voice. I feel fine, but my voice 7 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: is going because I was just talking so much, and 8 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm a little worn out and spent between the panels 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: and the networking and the parties and but yeah, it 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: was great. Um, but there's no sun to be had, 11 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: at least for from my experience. I don't feel sorry 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: for you, and but I do feel stright for myself 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: because I've had to hear you talk about this so 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: many times. Listen, next year we should go and set 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: up a booth and just do the show. Why did 16 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: we do that this year? Yeah, we got a plan ahead. 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: We well do. I think we brought up in like 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: Descenter was just too late. I'm gonna do it. Got 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: a lot of good feedback. A lot of people up 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: and say, oh man, I love the podcast, said you 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: know it's um, it's come up. I don't know, maybe 22 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: half a dozen people come up and said that. So 23 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: that's good. But in addition to not wanting to hear 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: from you, we actually have new people who went to 25 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: the conference this year and they're going to come on 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: the show and talk to us about what it was 27 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: like to be a freshman there. Yeah, this might be 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: my tenth year, so I'm probably a little jaded. Well, 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the first year I went, I think it 30 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: was just me and Chris Condon. Then I went a 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: couple of years, I was the only person there from Bloomberg, 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: and then data started joining the news and this year 33 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: our index team was there with like maybe ten people, 34 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: so there was probably twenty Bloomberg people at the event 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: all told. So it's definitely become like Fort Lauderdale Bureau. Yeah, 36 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: it's actually technically in Hollywood, and as you drive up, 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: there's a Hollywood Boulevard and I'm just like, it's just 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: not different, totally different. So joining us today on Trillions 39 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: first time for both Katie Greifeld, who's a reporter with 40 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: Bloomberg News, as well as Claire Valentine, this time on 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: Trillian Inside Inside et f S Part three. Katie, Claire, 42 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to Trillions. What's your assessment should I actually go 43 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: there next year? Oh yeah. Even if you don't have 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: time to go to the beach, you can at least 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: look out on the water, so which is sort of 46 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: depressing through glass windows. Yeah, yeah, I agree. It's a 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: nice view, but there's a depressing element to it. You guys, 48 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: get out of outside at all or not much. I 49 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: did a little bit. I sat on the beach in 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: a lunch. Katie went for a run. I did go 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: for a run. It was at six thirty in the 52 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: morning though, that's when the five K fund run was held, 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: and uh, you could see the beach. It was just 54 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: dark and there's celebrity sort of. There was a celebrity, 55 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: Ryan Hall. Uh. If you don't know, he's big in 56 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: my world because I'm a runner. But he he was 57 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: a former big time runner marathon former big time runner 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: retired now, but you might know him because he ran 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: a sub two oh five marathon, which is which is 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: very fast at the ball some marathon, so that was 61 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: a big deal. There's some hills there and I think 62 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: he still holds the half marathon record for the US, 63 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: so he's a big deal. I didn't know he was 64 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: going to be there, so that woke me up and 65 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: James and my team was Jazz. He got a picture 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: with him. It was like he met Bob Dylan or something. 67 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it was like a major deal for him. 68 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: I never heard of the guy I run, but I'm not. 69 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm not in the marathon circuit. But um that's also running. 70 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: I want to I want to video of that. I 71 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: think it'll be pretty boring for you, but I'll send 72 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: you one. Okay, alright, I'll do that for you. Okay. 73 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: So our stick with Inside ETF is that we give 74 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: you a recorder and you go talk to people. Yeah, 75 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: if I'm talking to somebody and I feel like they 76 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: say something that's you know, kind of cool, representative of 77 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: a bigger theme, I'll just get forty seconds from them, 78 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: and when we can run through the clips, who's first, 79 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: first up? And I'm guessing you guys will agree with 80 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: me that active, non transparent or aunts was probably the 81 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: biggest topic. If there was a theme that was threaded 82 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: through a lot of this, which we've talked about a 83 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: few times on Trillions we have. We did a whole 84 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: show with Dan McCabe, who's the Presidian uh CEO, which 85 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: you should go back and listen if you want a 86 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: primer on what this is, because we think this is 87 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: a theme for the year, like this is gonna be 88 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: a huge one. Yeah, all these like fifteen trillion dollars 89 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: worth of active mutual funds are trying to figure out 90 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: a way to do the e t F and this 91 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: is a way to do it without showing their holdings 92 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: every day. So it's kind of like having their cake 93 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: and needed to the question is is their demand. So 94 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: the first guy we interviewed was Daniel Shapiro from Serule. 95 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: Now Cerule has done a study that basically found that 96 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: et F fishers like these things are gonna bomb, which 97 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: is I'm in that camp pretty much. Some other people 98 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: think they're going to be successful. But Daniel said he 99 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: saw some things that make him more optimistic, and so 100 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: I asked him about that. We gave them until so 101 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: more than five years out, five years, less than ten billion. 102 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: Half of their respondents in pessimistic. Why I think we 103 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: we ourselves highlighted a number of challenges in the products 104 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: would face. We thought that the as managers the conflicted 105 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: and offering their best products into this particular rapper, we 106 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: thought that they wouldn't want to launch the right products 107 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: right away. They might start with something smaller, and as 108 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: we've seen the new filings from Fidelity, from tyrold Price, 109 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: it seems that there's a lot of promise. They're willing 110 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: to let some of their best, some of their largest 111 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: offerings into the E t F rapper, which makes us 112 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: more optimistic. What he's basically saying is that we now 113 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: see the filings coming in for what of these mutual 114 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: funds funds they're going to actually try to convert into 115 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: this new structure. And he was saying that, like he thought, 116 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: maybe they'd take their mediocre or crappy funds and just 117 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: try to get something going with them on this, but 118 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: he found that some of the funds they're going to 119 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: launch were some of their better funds, not all of them, 120 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: and that gave him some hope. They're not only are 121 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: you new to inside E t F, you're new to 122 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: E t F S cross Asset reporter. Now what do 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: you what do you make of this a moment? Well, definitely, 124 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: everyone that I talked to agreed this was the theme 125 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: of the conference is what everyone's talking about. But I 126 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: get to talk to anyone but sides people trying to 127 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: issue these that really agreed they're going to take off. 128 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of skepticism about are these 129 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: going to gather assets? And talking with Ryan Sullivan from 130 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: Brown Brother's Hairman, we both agreed people are just kind 131 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: of talking in circles at this point. We have to 132 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: wait until these launch and sort of see what happens. Katie, 133 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: what do you think, Well, it's interesting to that point 134 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: that perhaps people won't want to offer their best strategies 135 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: and an et f rapper. We were talking to UM 136 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: Greg Friedman at Fidelity and he said that the investors 137 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: are really rapper agnostic, you know it just they want 138 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: the best strategy, They want the best return that they 139 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: can get, you know, the best price. So that was 140 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: kind of interesting and to this broader debate. It was interesting. 141 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 1: On Greg Friedman's panel UM on Active Non Transparens on Tuesday, 142 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: there was this sort of spar that broke out between 143 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 1: Fidelity and then Doug Jones from the New York Stock 144 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: Exchange over whether this would herald the death of a 145 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: mutual fund. But declares point, you know, we've heard from 146 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: a lot of optimistic issuers, but people are really looking 147 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: to see whether they hold water. Did the fight have 148 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: to get broken up? This is two people in suits 149 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: like talking, even a little spark. I mean, some of 150 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: these panels can be very boring people, but this is 151 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: actually I thought that was one of the better ones, 152 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: absolutely because they were taking subtle shots at each other. 153 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: Because they're all offering different rappers and trying to appeal. 154 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: They were all competitors, and we kept coming back to it. 155 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: The moderator did step in, but there was a point 156 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: there where it was just the two of them talking. 157 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: The bigger problem is even if you launch your best 158 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: fund like the Tiro blue Chip, so far it looks 159 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: like the price is gonna be fifty to sixty basis 160 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: points um. So that's I guess, a decent deal if 161 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: you're a mutual fund investor. But for eat F people, 162 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: I mean they want everything below twenty bits. To me, 163 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: that's the single biggest issue. And I guess we'll see 164 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: in large cape equity is where they're going to launch 165 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: the first ones, and that seems to be the area 166 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: that people want active The least active flows tend to 167 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: be a little stronger and fixed income and an international 168 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: and emerging markets where there's more opportunity small caps. So 169 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: um yeah, I know I'm interested, um, just like everybody else. 170 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: And um, as you know, Todd at Rosen Bluth and 171 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: I have another big bet, which is how much will 172 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: they have at the end of the year. Ten billion 173 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: is the over under. I have the under, and if 174 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: I win this time, I'm ordering Saki next. Next up, 175 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: we have former Congress and Barney Frank. So you do 176 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: sometimes get some celebrities here, hence Ryan Hall. But Barney 177 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: Frank wasn't there just to talk like hype people up 178 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: or just be a celebrity. He's there to Actually he's 179 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: on the board of a new l g B t 180 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: q UM index that will be an et F very soon. 181 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: So we asked him what he was being in. You 182 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 1: know why he was involved with us for many is 183 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: when I first kind of involved with gay lights in 184 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two, we won the defension. We were fighting 185 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: against bad things. We've reached a point now where for 186 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: millions of us to we have in much of the country, 187 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,599 Speaker 1: we can start going after good things based on a sexuality. 188 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: That is, we're no longer trying to defend ourselves against bigotry. 189 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: In most cases, we want now to go forward in 190 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: Vanshall legitimate interest in a way that's constructive. And that's 191 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: and he can't now Before we dig into that, I 192 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: got a part two to this, which is Billy Bean, 193 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: who is a former professional baseball player who came out. 194 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: Billy Bean, No, it's actually saying I asked him. He's like, 195 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: it's very confusing. I know different. Billy Bean a player 196 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: he played on the Detroit Tigers, I believe, with Alan 197 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: trammell Um, and he was he actually had some cool 198 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 1: stories about playing with Tony Gwynn and least players I 199 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: used to baseball cars of anyway, different topic. He was 200 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: talking about being a major league baseball player and being 201 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: in the closet and then coming out and that's part 202 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: of what got him involved with this as well. And 203 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: it's a really heartfelt story. Here we go. And I 204 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 1: made the big leagues when I was twenty one, and 205 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: so you don't make the big leagues unless yere a 206 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: baseball player. And you know, there was no Internet, and 207 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,479 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I didn't quite understand my sexual orientation. 208 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: And I got married very young and and tried to 209 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: be everything to everyone. And as I got a little older, 210 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: and was into big leagues for a little bit. Um, 211 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: I started to become more self aware and and I 212 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: met somebody and I left my marriage and and that 213 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: person died, uh tragically, very young. Um, the night before 214 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: what was my last season in the big leagues. And 215 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: instead of talking to my family or my roommate was 216 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: Brad Osma's who's been a big league manager, played eighteen 217 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: years in big leagues. Um, it just seemed like from 218 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: the information that I had in my life that someone 219 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: like me didn't belong in baseball. And and I just 220 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: I just stopped playing and with no explanation for anybody, 221 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: didn't show up for spring training the next year, heavy right, 222 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: And so I was not expecting that. Yeah, no, look, 223 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: this is why I played both of those because there's this, 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: there's the Barney Frank who else has a real story 225 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: in this? But when you dig into these small e 226 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: t F s, there are some real interesting stories and 227 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: people who really care. So sometimes these small ets get 228 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: blown off. But even the Whiskey ETF had an interesting 229 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: story about this guy in Lexington, Kentucky. Um, and I 230 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: find that's where the passion is. What was Billy's et 231 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: F connection. So Barney's on that board, so is he, 232 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: and so is Martina and Evratalova. So this is an 233 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: index now, but it should be an ETF soon. It'll 234 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: be interesting if against traction, because there was one called 235 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: Pride pr I D but it didn't really take off, 236 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: although someone pushed back and said, you know, this was 237 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: UBS trying to sort of like co op this movement. 238 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: This is from the movement. One thing that I find 239 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: interesting about that is like probably two people who had 240 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: no idea about E T F and then all of 241 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: a sudden they end up in inside et F in Florida, 242 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: kind of like our guests. Uh, did you guys meet 243 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: anybody else like this? I did not, but I think 244 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: it really speaks to the idea of this field is 245 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: so crowded with E TF and how are you going 246 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: to stand out? And I wrote an article about this 247 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: in some of the ways that people are trying to 248 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: differentiate themselves, and I think it sort of combines both 249 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: like E. S G and kind of wanting to do 250 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: good but also wanted to compete with the big players, 251 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: and how do you do that you make yourself unique? Katie, 252 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: how much s G talk was there? There was so 253 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: much E s G talk. We've heard so much about 254 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: this in the past three weeks, and it was it 255 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: was interesting. You know, everyone says it's here to say, 256 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: everyone's excited about it, wants to get on board. Well 257 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, no, one knows how to define it. 258 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: And it almost feels like, you know, past the potato 259 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: because we've asked several people, several issuers, how are you 260 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: defining this? And they are really relying on third parties 261 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: at this point. So I'm not I just worried about 262 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: the investor. I worry this is like active mutual funds 263 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: Part two because, like Matt Hogan and the best new 264 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: ETF pundit SmackDown argued for s USL, which is the 265 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: I shares E s G, it's I think it might 266 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: be the largest E s G fund bar none. Guess 267 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: what's not not in it? Apple, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, Berkshire, 268 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 1: JP Morgan. I mean, these are the leaders of their industries. 269 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: It's like a car without an engine, and maybe those 270 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: stocks will actually fall because of their E s G 271 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: in the future and this this thing outperforms, But I 272 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: don't know. Those are some heavy duty companies, You're not 273 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: there aren't in there and people are buying this and 274 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: not knowing that. I think they're going to be surprised 275 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: if they buy it. Know it fine, but I just 276 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: worry that they're going to be disappointed if it underperforms. 277 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: Electric cars don't have engines. That's true, there is a 278 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: metaphor there. Yeah, maybe that that's a good way to 279 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: sell it, but I wouldn't buy it. By the way, 280 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: when I write about this, I get them publicly people 281 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: that yeah, you're you know what about this and this, 282 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: But I'll get a lot of messages offline, like and 283 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: at the conference, I wrote this article about this, and 284 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: people were like, you're spot on. I can't say anything 285 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: to agree with you publicly, but I agree. I think 286 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: people um are sort of leaning towards this idea of 287 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: an E S G tilt instead of just a flat 288 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: out E s G. And people that I talked with 289 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: said that, you know, because there's a question of how 290 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: do you define it, you can sort of define it 291 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: in a way that's like E S G light almost, 292 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: and that might have more success that if If people 293 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: are going to use it as a like a five 294 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: percent allocation on top of their equities, that's fine. That 295 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: then it becomes some like a theme. But then are 296 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: you really cleaning up your portfolio because the rest of 297 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: your portfolio still owns those companies like ex On and whatnot. 298 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: So that to me, a lot of the says, I 299 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: just worry it's being sold, like the five dollar organic avocado. 300 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: It's being sold, so you feel like you're doing something, 301 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 1: but it's really you're kind of getting hosed a little. Well, 302 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: the question I asked a bunch of people at this 303 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: conference was whether this E S G enthusiasm is really 304 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: a bowl market phenomenon. You know, when everything is rallying, 305 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: you kind of have the luxury of being able to 306 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: invest along your values. But when we actually do hit 307 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: a downturn, if and when you know, are people going 308 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: to have that luxury of choice? And so far, you know, 309 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: no one wanted to disagree with the buzzword of the week, 310 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: but um, the point that Phil McIntosh at NASTACK said 311 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: was it's going to depend on whether the returns are 312 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: actually better in E S G. And there's been a 313 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: lot of conflicting research on that. So it might rest 314 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: on that if you believe E s G is a 315 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: factor that we'll have to find alpha um. By all 316 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: means you can just drop a little on your portfolio. 317 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: But if you are looking to clean up your portfolio, 318 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: those are the people I worry about. Because you're gonna 319 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: sell your Vanguard five hundred for this, just be careful, 320 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: know what you're owning. UM. And I think that's a 321 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: big issue. And ms c I, the head of mbsc I, 322 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: came out recently and said if you don't something like, 323 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: if you don't do this, your you will dramatically underperform. 324 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: I find that to be very dangerous talk. I just 325 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: think that's irresponsible to be honest. UM. I think it's 326 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: just better to sort of like offer caveats here and 327 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: be honest about the proposition, because you don't want someone 328 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: to wake up and trail the market by and be like, 329 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, why did I do this and get angry 330 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: about it? Who'd you talk to you next? So, while 331 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm a skeptic, there's someone I think a little further 332 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: to the right of me, which is the MAGA guy. 333 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: There's an et F with the tigger Maga Hal Lambert. 334 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: It leans towards companies with that donate or have GOP 335 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: values or donate to GOP. I believe did a great 336 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: Brillions episode with him before. Yeah, we did a whole 337 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: episode with him and he's a really nice guy. He 338 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: was talking about Larry Fink's Climate letter and uh, he 339 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: offered some sort of like pushback on that, and here 340 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: he is like, my biggest problem with the s G 341 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: is that it's it's all just soft issues, so it's 342 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: very relative. There's no real hard evidence on anything, so 343 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: it's opinionated, and it's being driven by the U N 344 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: out of out of Europe, and now they're forcing US 345 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: companies to adopt policies and it's basically policies that they 346 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: can't get past legislatively by the left, and so they're 347 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: trying to basically front end that and go to the 348 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: corporations and force this on them. So if you look 349 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: at what like Bratt black Rock is doing, Larry Fink, 350 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: you know they have now come out and said everything 351 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be sustainable in what they're doing. Well, you 352 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: know what, what does that due to clients that don't 353 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: have that same view. And by the way, if you 354 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: look at black Rock and you look at you know, 355 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: what they're doing with their own company. You know, black 356 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: Rock has jets, they have their own private jets and 357 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: and uh whatever, I'm fine with jets. The other thing 358 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: they're doing, though, is they're leasing those jets out when 359 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: they're not using them. So when you talk about global 360 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: warming and climate change and you're worried about all that, 361 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: and you're gonna least jets out to make a few 362 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: extra thousand dollars to put carbon in the atmosphere, is 363 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: that really s G friendly or they really SG focused, 364 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: or they STUF doing it for marketing. Hey, no one 365 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: wants to say what he said, but there's some truth 366 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: to that, and there is a lot of hypocrisy and 367 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: it needs to be said. And I think you can 368 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: identify hypocrisy and still be for the movement to fight 369 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: climate change. Emitting carbon is emitting carbon. I think everybody 370 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: has to contribute. That's not unfair, is it. No? I 371 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: mean my take is that even if it is PR, 372 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: that's sort of better than nothing. It's a movement forward, 373 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: it's a step forward. And I agree I'm talking talking 374 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: about I just think the some of the pressure should 375 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: be punched up right now. I feel like it's all 376 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: about how are the people gonna like change? But what 377 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: about the elite who who just seemed to be the 378 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: biggest carbon emitter is out there. There's just not that 379 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: much pressure on them. It's weird. I didn't see one 380 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: Davos article that really focused on that. How is MAGAT 381 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: performed MAGAT and not having a good run. It's a 382 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 1: fifteen point one percent since launching and smps like thirty three, 383 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: so it's basically half now MAGGO I think leans towards 384 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: energy and industrial stock. Yeah, it's a sector tilt away 385 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: from a look. Mega to me is is the anti 386 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: E s G sector wise. You get more energy and 387 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: industrials and almost no tech. So if tech falls out 388 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: of BED, I a would say, if you think if 389 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: you're anti high beta and growth and tech and you 390 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: think those you know, the fang type names are going 391 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: to fall out of BED, mag is not a bad play, 392 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: even if you disagree. It's sort of like an anti tech, 393 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: energy industrial heavy kind of ETF. We asked Black Rock 394 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: about halse comments and it responded that it offsets travel 395 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: related emissions by retiring carbon credits and also reduced air 396 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: travel per employee. As of you're in okay, we have 397 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: some more names on your list. Who's next next is 398 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 1: Dan Draper from Investco. And I think another issue was, 399 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, costed following everybody wants free trading. Fility just 400 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: announced fractional shares after announcing free trading. He was talking 401 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: a little bit about thinking about how asset managers are 402 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: going to evolve and change as headline expense ratio is 403 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: faull to almost nothing. Once we have a large platform, 404 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: can e T s be a source to bring clients 405 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: new clients onto a platform, and once they're there, can 406 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: we effectively follow them through their data, you know, and 407 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: being able to find other revenue sources throughout the platform. 408 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: So I think it's interesting concept of potentially moving from 409 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: assets under management to data under management. So, you know, 410 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,439 Speaker 1: that's a that's a great line, by the way, and 411 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: I think what we're going to see is five or 412 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: six companies. A lot of the assets just flow to 413 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: these big sort of consolidated giant companies that are everything 414 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: to everybody, and what they do besides make a little 415 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: money on the expense ratio is going to be other revenances. 416 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: How can you creatively earn some money on all that 417 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: assets and all the people that are part of the assets. 418 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: And that's sort of what he's talking about. Yeah. Well, 419 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: first off, his idea of data under management instead of 420 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: assets under management. I'm dying to call this draper's dumb idea? 421 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: Do you am? So I want to get that on 422 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: the record first, But I think it's really interesting idea 423 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: and I think it has a lot of merit to it. Um. 424 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: I My pushback is what does data mean? That's just 425 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: such a buzz word. Um. But I do think you know, 426 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: these companies are going to need to make money somehow, 427 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: and that could be a pathway forward. I think it's 428 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: a question of can you use the data, can you 429 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: gather it, can you clean it? And can you implement it? Yeah. 430 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: I want to see what the pop up on the experiences, like, hey, 431 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: we've been scraping your data and we noticed X and 432 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, you've been doing what? Yeah? But the 433 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: low fee, the zero fee in a lot of cases 434 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: uh e t F four that we've seen. That was 435 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: another big topic and we spoke to Rory Tobin at 436 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: Spider about that and um he said that what they've 437 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: been doing is cutting costs elsewhere, you know, trying to 438 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: bring more digital capabilities to portfolio management, and it was 439 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: it was interesting. He likened it to Ryanair, the European 440 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: low cost airline, how they may not have seatback pockets, 441 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: you may not get to your destination on time, but 442 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, it works. They're Europe's largest low budget airlines. 443 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: So he's trying to tap into that wisdom. And for 444 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: a while they weren't going to have seats, They're going 445 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: to be standing position. Yeah, I mean, I get his 446 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: point there, but I also think it's a terrible metaphor 447 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: because people hate airlines that do that. They hate it, 448 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: but it's working for Ryan Air. They're profitable. Eric, who 449 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: who's next next is? You know, we talked about Dan 450 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: Draper runs a huge company and their struggles. But then 451 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: I moderated moderated a panel called the Rebels, which is 452 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: about the small issuers and India issuers and how they 453 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: can survive in a era of giants. So here's Andrew 454 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: Chainin of um Ufo the space ETF. He also was 455 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: formerly of Hack. He came up with this et F 456 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: Hack and he got into a lawsuit with his own 457 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: white label issuer. And I thought Hack was one of 458 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: the greatest theme launches ever, in fact that I think 459 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: it inspired a generation of of theme launch. It wasn't bad. Yeah, 460 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: So after Hack kind of became a controversy, he launched 461 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: a new fund called UFO. Long story short, he's going 462 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: to comment on the Hack controversy, and he's also going 463 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: to comment on why he prefers to be a small issue, 464 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: because I thought maybe after that he would just go 465 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: and sort of join black Rock or or Vanguard or 466 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: something like that and just you know, take that road. 467 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: But he's like, he likes to like to be the 468 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: small guy. One of the best things I thought that 469 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: actually came out of the Hack fiasco is there's now 470 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: a federal rolling showing through the through the courts that 471 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: actually a white label client does have protections in this industry, 472 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: and before it was an unknown and we hadn't had 473 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: to deal with this issue before. So although there was 474 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: a lot of questions and possible concerns, if anything, I 475 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: feel like this is a huge win for the overall 476 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: ETF industry as well as for white label clients and 477 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: just talk a little bit about the role of a 478 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: small issue where it seems so hard from the outside 479 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: looking in, Um, you know, why not just joined a 480 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: big firm and live a comfortable life. You're You're right, 481 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: there's absolutely nothing easy about being a small issue or 482 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: and going off on your own. However, it allows you 483 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: to partner with the partners that you want to work with, 484 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: allows you to push forward the ideas that you believe 485 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: in it, and allows you to shape your organization the 486 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: way you think an organization should be structured. And I 487 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: think that freedom and allowance gives you the ability to 488 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: create something truly different. And that's why I'm thrilled to 489 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: be able to be an independent insut or. Did anybody 490 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: on that panel said that say that they weren't thrilled 491 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: to be an independent initiator? No, but they expressed challenges 492 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: like when you come out with a product and then 493 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: black Rock or Spider launch is something very similar for 494 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: half the cost, that's a bummer, and that product has 495 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: a better likelihood of getting onto a platform that like 496 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: a Merrill or ubs has And so sometimes the small 497 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: guys are just left out of the distribution system and uh, 498 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: it's a it's a rough road. I feel for them, 499 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: and I tend to lean indie. That's why I picked 500 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: an indie fund for my best new et F pundit 501 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: to SmackDown Um, I think I did that go well, 502 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: I didn't win, but I think I made a case, 503 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: and I got a couple of emails saying, you you 504 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: made a good point, but did you place in the 505 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: top three. I don't think so. I think I'm in 506 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: the I'm in the middle. Usually look this this indie 507 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: the best pundit SmackDown. I think it really favors moments, 508 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: an improvisational comedy. The person who one was amazing. I 509 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: don't know if FORR. E. T F was the greatest ever. 510 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: It's TDV. It's like a tech dividen fund. But she 511 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: had a great moment on stage, and she was very likable, 512 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: and the presentation is huge, and you know she nailed it. 513 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: But that said, I'm proud of what I presented because 514 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: I picked the uranium minor et F and I basically 515 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: premised that, look, people want to fight climate change, but 516 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: they don't want to give up their lifestyles, and wind 517 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: and solar won't cover the difference, so you need something 518 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 1: to fill it in. And as Bill Gates said, this 519 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: is carbon free, it's scalable, and it's seven So if 520 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: there's even a little public consensus or embracement of nuclear power, 521 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: then this thing should shoot up. And I like the 522 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: fact that it launched after a horrible back test. The 523 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: sectors down in the past eight years, and so it 524 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: has a lot of room to run. So I wanted 525 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: to just be on the record presenting this thing ahead 526 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: of time, because if it starts to go up, people 527 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: gonna go Yeah. Eric was first on that, and if 528 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't, nobody will probably even bother to like say anything. 529 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: Katie Claire, did you guys meet any India issuers that 530 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: you were impressed by? Well, I met Andrew, which who 531 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: had spoken with before, but I got to talk with 532 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: him some more, and um, really interesting marketing there. I 533 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: think it just really speaks to how people are trying 534 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: to stand out. I think he had astronaut ice cream 535 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, the guy that we just heard cream. Yeah, 536 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: he had a huge green blow up alien with a 537 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: UFO shirt on. He wore these huge orange sneakers that 538 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: were the first ever Nike NASA collaboration, so the sneakers 539 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: you wear in space, and then he had space ice cream. 540 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: He went all out. Who's next? Yeah, next up? We 541 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: got James mortier As who's from GMO. Sometimes they have 542 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: economists and people like that speak. It's not an E 543 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: T F kind of conversation. But what he said I 544 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: thought was fascinating. He thought the sixty forty portfolio was 545 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: in trouble, which is like a mainstay of your management. 546 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Are the advisors there probably have something like a sixty forty. 547 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: So I thought this was interesting to hear him challenge 548 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: that this is going to have a rough road going forward. 549 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: One of the big challenges I think the people is 550 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: the sixty forty is simply not going to work the 551 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: way that people expected to work. And that's a real challenge. 552 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: And we are going to end up with a portfolio 553 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: that is a very long way short of the expectations 554 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: that people have from their investments. And what are some 555 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: ways to like an alternative or in your kids you 556 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: like E M value, Yes, so I think you can 557 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: do better than the s and right now that that 558 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: involves owning things like emerging market values stocks which are 559 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: beaten up and loathed but offer the chance of a 560 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: decent equity like return. So I think you can still 561 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: board a portfolio that makes sense um and will give 562 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: you the kind of returns you need, but it will 563 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: look incredibly unconventional, and that's why most people will will 564 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: balk at it. They just won't be able to stomach 565 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: the visual perception of what they're doing. Katie, what do 566 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: you what do you make of the death of sixty 567 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: forty conversation? You know, it's something that you hear every 568 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: once in a while, especially when markets are really going 569 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: down the toilets. But I haven't heard anyone, you know, 570 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: give me a really full throated uh case for why 571 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: it would die. So it was really interesting to hear 572 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: James's comments. And I think part of it is that 573 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: remember two um, stocks and bonds pretty much both felt 574 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: the only thing that worked was cash. That was called 575 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: the everything down and then everything goes up. If everything 576 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: starts going up and down sixty forty, there is no 577 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: more diversification. So what he's saying is look out of that. 578 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: And I was at an alternative panel that talked about 579 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: that too, said maybe you should look for a long 580 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: short strategy. Something has an alternative stream, so in case sixty, 581 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: in case both of those start falling, you have something. 582 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: His big pitch though, was e M value. He thinks 583 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: emerging markets values at P of ten, and that is 584 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: a great place to be right now. I'm not saying 585 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 1: to use it, But if you are interested, the ticker 586 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: that would do that is p X at p x H. 587 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: It's pretty much the only E M value et F 588 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: out there. Claire, how are you doing on on all 589 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: your kers? Who? Here's a question we usually ask, and 590 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask it now. What's your new favorite ticker? Oh? 591 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Um. I like some of the 592 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: cyber ones. I like Hack. That's kind of a fun one. 593 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: It feels like alphabet soup. I'm still trying to get 594 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: my head around all of them. Hack is like an 595 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: all time Yeah, it's a top five easily by by 596 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: anybody's standards. It's a great one. Eric, Uh, we got 597 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: another clip. Yeah. So um. Sometimes you go to these 598 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: events and you run into actual like founding father types, legends, 599 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: and you know, unless you know them, you may not 600 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: even know you're next to somebody. Here's Jay Baker who 601 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: worked at AMX back in the day, and he was 602 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: tasked with trying to get more volume and spy because 603 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: nobody was trading it. It almost failed and the whole 604 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: industry would never happen. And this is the guy that 605 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: kind of saves spy. And we had Jay Baker on 606 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: our special trillions about the creation actually of spy. Yeah, 607 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: if you go and google the et F story, it's 608 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: a great six part series if you want to learn more. 609 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: But at that point it was in an American Stock 610 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: Exchange products. State Street wasn't involved. They did get involved 611 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: with the marketing later and they did a great job, 612 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: but in the beginning it was moving slowly. So what 613 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: happened was a senior executive at the American Stock Exchange 614 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: approached me and Steve Bloom and said, look, spiders moving 615 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: a little bit slowly. I went to do institutional marketing. 616 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: I want you to get a hundred million in the 617 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: Spider within six months. So we went around to all 618 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: the different um institutional firms. There was some interest, you know, 619 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: there was interest to an extent, but it was interest 620 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of a shrug of the shoulders. So 621 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: we went to one in particular called Die with Securities, 622 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: and we answered about two thousand questions that they had 623 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 1: about the product, and they ended up basically creating two 624 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: hundred fifty million dollars worth the spider spiders at forty 625 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: five so this is several million shares. And the reason 626 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: they did it was they found an opportunity, and the 627 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: opportunity was people wanted to short spider, so they basically 628 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: created hedge, created two D fifty million, sold short two 629 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: fifty million, SMP five hundred future, so they were hedge 630 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: whether the market went up or down five points and 631 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: loaned out the spider. I didn't ever hear that before. Yeah, 632 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: it's tells you the early days of ets, they were 633 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: for institutions to do trading. They were supposed to be 634 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: like a better version of the futures contract. Then black 635 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: Rock or Barclays came along and saw the retail opportunity. 636 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: But either way, I just like these stories where it's 637 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: like a Silicon Valley story where nothing's going right, but 638 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: you just hustle and then you get a couple of 639 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: breaks and and then boom, you get that tipping point. 640 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: And this is you know before that for sure, how 641 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: much hustle was there on the floor of this place. 642 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: There's lots of running around, and not just in the 643 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: actual run. It was saw some people kind of sweaty 644 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: trying to get to all their meetings. But I think 645 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: it's cool to you know, being new to the space, 646 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: it's really neat to be in the same room with 647 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: people who are here from the beginning, and I think 648 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: it's also a reminder of how kind of young the 649 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: area is and how it's still up and coming. Yeah, 650 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: it was a great mix of people who you know, 651 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: were around at the start, you know, when the first 652 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: ETFs came out, like for example, we spoke to John Jacobs, 653 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: who was one of the creators of the queues and 654 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: then you know there's a lot of young people such 655 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: as clear as myself, people who are very new to 656 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: the space. And do you have those hustlers there? And 657 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: we're going to close it out with We're gonna close 658 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: with this very unique site called jobs and ETFs. Anybody 659 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: out there is looking for and by the way, people 660 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: do come to this without jobs to maybe, like you know, 661 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: find somebody. You know. There is definitely like networking, and 662 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: I've seen people find jobs here. So here we have 663 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: Claude Matrosh, who is one of the people who runs 664 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: Jobs and et F, and I just asked them a 665 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: little bit about you know what this site does and 666 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: you know how many jobs are on there, and it's 667 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: it's really a great resource. At the moment, we have 668 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: over a hundred jobs listed on the website. Um. Most 669 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: of these jobs comes from companies that want so expand 670 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: their teams or expand their their their portfolios. Yeah, I 671 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: mean a hundred jobs and I've gone on there. They're 672 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: from big companies, small companies. They're in all over the world. Um. 673 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: You know again, sometimes I feel like it's the nineties 674 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: economy and sod T t t F s UM. Again. The 675 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: revenue growth isn't major because of the price compression, but 676 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: the assets are flowing here. It's always leading in assets, 677 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: and so there's a ton of jobs coming across. And 678 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: what he specializes in is getting these new companies that 679 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: are coming over like a t row and trying to 680 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: fit like who from the E T F rold might 681 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: come over. So we see this move a lot where 682 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: the head of capital markets at like say a Spider 683 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: or a Vanguard will go over to lead like an 684 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: older mutual fund company that just happened with Tim Coin 685 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: left Spider to go to t Row and leave that up. 686 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: And so this is a trend we've seen and he's 687 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: kind of helps facilitate that. I am shocked that we 688 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: haven't talked about this before. This seems like a great episode. 689 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: I know we should have him in Um and his 690 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: partner is really cool too. I had a eight dinner 691 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: with him and had one too many Japanese old fashions. 692 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: I think they'd be good guests, all right. So the 693 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: other part of jobs, I guess you could say, is 694 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: like there are after parties where you get to like, 695 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: you know, meet people. What kind of afterparties, um, other 696 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: than you know, just consuming too much. There's the one 697 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 1: the conference has by the pool bar, and I think 698 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: everybody goes there. But then there's like dinners and stuff. 699 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: So I went to BBH dinner on the first night, 700 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: and then I on the second night, I went to 701 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: an informal one by Ryan Curland organized from Alpha architect 702 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: which had a lot of fint with there. And that 703 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: was an a Mexican restaurant Marguerite Deville Aboup, you know, 704 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: two miles down the road. Both fun. I didn't do 705 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: a kind of partying, but I enjoyed the cocktail hours 706 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: by the beach and just I think we should just 707 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: pick up the Bloomberg New York office moving for a while, Katie. 708 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: It was a great scene. Um. Yeah, the hotel party 709 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: that was great. And I went to one of the 710 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: parties held by Jane Street. The name of the restaurant 711 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: escapes me, but one of the beauties of being in 712 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: Florida in January. Even though I didn't go outside that much, 713 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: I did feel like it was okay to order an 714 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: Appall Spirits. You know, it was okay to drink a 715 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: summer drink that I totally agree.
