In November 2025, industry leaders gathered at the 6th Annual ETFGI Global ETFs Insights Summit in the United States under Chatham House rules to examine where exchange-traded products are heading. The overall consensus: ETFs have become a key asset in global capital markets, and their role is set to expand as macro conditions shift, demographics change and exchanged traded product structures evolve.
A few broad themes: a maturing ETF ecosystem compounding at double-digit rates, a macro regime defined by higher-for-longer inflation and geopolitical fragmentation, rapid growth in active and outcome-oriented strategies, and a regulatory focus squarely on complex products and digital assets.
Please note Chatham House rules prohibit tying specific speakers to ideas discussed to encourage more open discussion. Pictures of speakers...
