The world’s largest gathering of advisors, investors and service providers focused on exchange-traded products opens Sunday in sunny Florida where the temperatures should be about 80 degrees but where discussions of “hot” relate strictly to investments.
That is because all the usual subjects on the minds of investment conferees—generating income in a low-rate environment, managing volatility, promising international markets—are the subjects discussed at the three-day Inside ETFs conference.
