Speaking on the conference, Olufemi Onifade, Acting Head, Trading Business Division at the NSE, said: “ETPs provide a direct and cost effective means of gaining portfolio access to diversified asset returns or markets such as indexes, commodities, sectors or regions; and also lend themselves elegantly to the execution of diverse investment strategies.
ETPs are versatile investment vehicles, having been structured to execute a public divestment transaction in India as well as a national savings scheme in South Africa. The Exchange recognises that awareness and capacity building are integral elements in supporting the development of this asset class; indeed, this conference is a direct expression of our commitment to capacity building in the market. It is one of several interventions carefully designed to ensure market operators and participants are poised to leverage the benefits of ETPs in their businesses and portfolios.”
