Join us for an opportunity to brainstorm and collaborate with ETF industry leaders on lessons learned from their experience in the ETF industry and insights on future developments, including non-transparent active ETFs. This program is sponsored by K&L Gates and is free to attend, but space will be limited to the first 100 people. Additional participants are invited to join via a live webinar.

Agenda topics will include:

• A Crash Course in Launching An ETF: Choosing service providers, refining your strategy, and trends and innovations in product and index development.

• Hot Legal Topics: How the “Fiduciary Rule” will affect (and potentially benefit) ETFs and the ETF-unique aspects of the SEC’s new liquidity and reporting rules.

• Porting Performance: Put your past performance to work for your new ETF.

• Hot Business Topics: The business case for and regulatory issues presented by non-transparent active ETFs, custom baskets and the like.

• Compliance and Enforcement: Designing an ETF compliance program and lessons from recent SEC and FINRA enforcement actions.

• Board Oversight of ETFs: Current ETF trustees and trustee counsel highlight ETF-specific board reports and considerations.

• Distribution: Lessons learned by ETF distribution veterans (what they would -- and wouldn’t -- have done differently), as well as current ETF distribution and marketing trends.
