Summary

There will be nearly 1,000 new ETFs issued in 2025. Most of these are NOT the usual low-cost passive indices we think of. Instead, these tend to be complex, expensive, active funds in an ETF wrapper. Leveraged directional bets, options, or derivatives-based, and a whole raft of complex strategies.

Dave Nadig is President and Director of Research at ETF.com, and he shares with us how investors should navigate all of these new products.

Each week, “At the Money” discusses an important topic in money management. From portfolio construction to taxes and cutting down on fees, join Barry Ritholtz to learn the best ways to put your money to work.
