Emerging Markets, Emerging Core? Thursday, July 9, 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT

Emerging markets have emerged. Once seen as a fringe asset class and a risky bet, emerging markets today are powering economic growth and providing a critical source of returns for investor portfolios.

In this one-hour webinar, IndexUniverse.com editor and global ETF expert Matt Hougan will consider the case for increasing a portfolio’s baseline exposure to emerging markets. He’ll explain why global benchmarks systematically underweight emerging markets, outline the evolving forces impacting emerging markets and explain how and why their role in a portfolio is changing. The presentation will review the case for and against active management in emerging markets, and compare and contrast the 50+ ETFs that currently provide exposure to the asset class.

Following the presentation, Matt will head a panel discussion with top financial advisers who use emerging markets in client portfolios, including Luciano Siracusano, Chief Investment Strategist of WisdomTree Asset Management, a leading provider of emerging market ETFs, and Tom Lydon, President of Global Trends Investments. The panel will also include a moderated audience Q&A session.

Sign up now for this unique opportunity. Registration is free, but is limited to the first 1,000 respondents.

Attendees of the Live Webinar session will earn 1 hour of CFP CE credit.

ETF Shorting Strategies: From Hedging to Hedge Funds In this one-hour webinar, IndexUniverse.com Director of Research Dave Nadig examines how investors can use shorting strategies to reduce risk and potentially improve their portfolios' long-term returns.

This informative session will discuss basic hedging techniques, long/short extension strategies such as 130/30, and the use of shorting to separate manager performance from market performance (so-called portable alpha). The session will specifically address the pros and cons of implementing these techniques both by shorting traditional long ETFs, and by using ETFs that provide inverse market returns.

The webinar will conclude with a 20-30 minute interactive audience Q&A.
