In our second episode of FTSE Russell Convenes, we are joined by Daniel Reyes, Global Head of Product at Vanguard, whose career with the firm spans over 14 years. In his discussion with Dana Moody, Manager, Index Investments Group at FTSE Russell, Dan explains how Vanguard adapts to evolving ETF market dynamics, while staying true to its investment philosophy—to offer products and exposures it believes will drive positive investment outcomes over the long term. The conversation flows into new entrants into the ETF market, novel exposures and the many different types of ETF strategies launched over the last decade, with most coming and going with a market cycle. Digging in deeper here, Dan shares his views on thematic exposures, and when an investment strategy turns from a fad into a sound investment strategy. Wrapping up the discussion, the focus is on market structure, specifically in the U.S., where equity market indexes and returns have become increasingly concentrated. Dan addresses how Vanguard considers this in the index construction process of its products, and the broader product lineup.
