ESG Explosion & Thematic ETFs Tumble

CNBC's Bob Pisani spoke with Sal Bruno, CIO of Index I-Q, Armando Senra, Head of i-Shares Americas and Todd Rosenbluth, Senior Director of ETF and Mutual Fund Research at CFRA. They discussed the hottest trends of the year – including ESG – the boom behind BlackRock’s two recent launches and what’s driving the red-hot flows into that space. Plus, what was hot in 2020, not looking so hot in 2021? Why bets on thematic trends like cloud computing, cybersecurity and 3-D printing appear to have fallen out of favor so far this year. In the ‘markets 102’ portion of the podcast, Bob continues the conversation about all things ESG with Armando Senra from iShares. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
