ASIA's take-up of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is expected to pick up, thanks to the increasing use of ETFs in managed portfolio solutions and the emergence of more novel products, such as "smart beta" ETFs.
Geir Espeskog, head of iShares Asia-Pacific distribution, says there is a growing awareness among Asian investors of the importance of transparency, efficiency and asset allocation, all of which drive ETF usage.
