September is living up to its reputation as a volatile month. ETFs love volatility. Whether we are entering a risk-off or risk-on environment, ETFs have solidified themselves as a vehicle of choice to express views. Join us Monday at 1:15 PM ET on ETF Edge when our guests will be Noel Archard, Global Head of ETFs and Investor Solutions at Alliance Bernstein, and Todd Rosenbluth, Head of Research at Vettafi. Noel and Todd will delve into where the money is flowing, and in particular the growth of actively managed ETFs, which are seeing strong inflows this year and do well in periods of high volatility. Other sectors with strong investor interest: fixed-income ETFs, which are rallying as investors play a lower rate environment, and low volatility ETFs, which have seen inflows as investors bet that defensive (Consumer Staples, Health Care) and interest rate–sensitive sectors (Utilities, Real Estate) will rally as investors take profits in tech and broaden into other sectors.
