The subject of this week’s TEBI Podcast is ETFs, or exchange-traded funds.

ETFs have been all the rage in recent years, soaring in popularity all over the world. In the US, a total of $124 billion has poured into ETFs in the first two months of 2017 — the the most aggressive start to a year since the industry was founded 24 years ago.

I’ve been talking to Nizam Hamid, European ETF strategist at WisdomTree, to get his perspective on a range of issues:
