Eric Balchunas is Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. In this interview, the fund expert and author of The Bogle Effect discusses how and why investors continue to flock to ETFs versus traditional mutual funds and other investment vehicles. Even in a year where many investors remained shell-shocked for a while after 2022’s lousy market performance, ETF flows are up to around $250 billion because Exchange Traded Funds offer 6-10 major advantages. Still, what Eric calls the “Bull Market Subsidy” has ensured mutual funds retain a 2-to-1 advantage over ETFs when it comes to total assets.
Eric next discusses the SEC’s fight with fund issuers over spot Bitcoin ETFs, noting that the regulatory agency just lost a key lawsuit. He believes there’s a 75% chance a round of 5-7 crypto-focused funds will hit the market in coming months, providing “a bridge from the normal, especially Boomer, world, and the crypto underground”. He also covers the growth in single-stock ETFs, funds that allow investors to go long or short individual names like Tesla (TSLA) on a leveraged and unleveraged basis. He notes “The marketplace is just responding to what the investors are demanding” and says critics shouldn’t compare “hot sauce” to their “main dinner.” Finally, Eric gives a sneak peek at what he’ll discuss at the MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Orlando, set for Oct. 29-31, 2023 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.
