If ETFs are becoming the “backbone” of investing, what does that mean for the future of portfolios in Asia?

Asia-Pacific’s ETF market has crossed the US$2 trillion mark, and investors are no longer using ETFs simply to track indices.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with guest Ahmed Ibrahim, Head of ETF Solutions, APAC at State Street, this episode explores how ETFs are evolving into gateways for AI investing, income strategies, active management and digital assets.

Michelle and Ahmed unpack what’s driving explosive ETF growth across China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia - and how APAC is increasingly shaping global ETF innovation.
