Why this CEO believes the smart money’s in India; Global X launches tech ETF on ASX

As the world’s most populated country with a growth story fuelled by middle-class consumption, Indian equity markets are poised to be a winner in the long term, according to this investment executive.

Global X has launched its second new core ETF on the ASX, tracking high-growth technology NASDAQ companies.

After two consecutive quarters in decline, the Financy Women’s Index has improved, helped by the number of women appointed to ASX 200 boards.

In partnership with EAM Global Investors, the fund manager has announced it will offer an exclusive global small cap strategy to the local market.

J.P. Morgan Asset Management will launch two active ETFs focused on fixed income and emerging markets on the Cboe Australia exchange.

The firm will seek a new CEO to succeed Andrew Clifford, who steps down after five years to focus on his position as co-CIO and co-portfolio manager of Platinum’s global and Asia strategies.
