ETF Tweet of the Week: This past week, I had the pleasure of participating in an extended conversation with several ETF industry stalwarts including Tuttle Capital’s Matt Tuttle (who’s behind the recently launched Jim Cramer ETFs), Bloomberg’s James Seyffart, Grizzle Investment Management’s Thomas George (behind Grizzle Growth ETF), and WisdomTree’s Jeff Weniger.

ETF Chart of the Week: In their latest ETF investor survey, Brown Brothers Harriman projects global ETF assets could eclipse $30 trillion over the next decade:
“Given the enhanced investor education and continual product evolution within the ETF wrapper, by 2033, we believe the ETF market could be worth $30+ trillion. Market inflows from the last few years support this growth projection, and year after year, a majority of investors plan to maintain or increase their use of ETFs.”
