Quote
[05:03] - “The other really large source for ETFs, and I’m sure you’ve talked about this too, has been the wide adoption of Active ETFs. Active Funds, depending on the time frame, have received 25-30% of all ETF flows, which is an outsized percent, especially relative to the current percentage of ETF AUM…These flows include both new net in flows, as well as out flows that are coming out of Mutual Funds and into ETFs.” ~ Julie Abbett
