Last week in Zurich, we hosted our last ETF Buyers Club event of 2026! A huge thank you to our sponsors, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Avantis Investors, speakers and our ETF Buyers Club community for joining us for a morning consisting of deep market insight and high-level discussion. Our experts dissected topics such as how AI and big data are reshaping active ETF strategies, to exploring where systematic approaches can outperform, and where traditional indexes and factor models may fall short. The event provided a timely look at how selectors can enhance decision-making in a rapidly evolving landscape. Delegates also unpacked how to navigate portfolios through an increasingly volatile policy environment, assessing the impact of central bank uncertainty, shifting rate expectations and geopolitical tension on allocation decisions. We look forward to bringing the ETF Buyers Club back to Switzerland in 2026. Would you like to join the ETF Buyers Club?
