ETF Trends and ETF Database (owned by ETF Flows, LLC) recently announced that industry expert Dave Nadig is joining the company on January 21 as Chief Investment Officer and Director of Research. In this role, Nadig is going to oversee the research, content and survey work of both sites with the goal of continuing to build the largest preeminent ETF research platform for financial advisors, institutions and self-directed investors to research ETFs.

“ETFs have been a transformative technology for all classes of investors,” said Nadig. “The pace of change isn’t slowing down.  The efficiency of ETFs has been a catalyst for changes throughout the ecosystem, from free trading to the rise of robo-advisors.  I’m looking forward to helping grow something equally transformative at ETF Trends and ETF Database.”

Nadig previously served as Managing Director of ETF.com where he helped grow the business and provide expert commentary for the past decade.

“Dave’s knowledge of the ETF industry is extensive.  Adding someone of Dave’s caliber and experience will enable us to continue developing our leading platform for content and insights, and we look forward to seeing Dave expand our media outreach, educational programs, data analytics and industry relationships,” added Tom Lydon, Co-Founder and CEO of ETF Flows.  “Dave has proven to be a needed resource for regulators, index providers, and ETF issuers.”

Before working at ETF.com, Nadiq also ran mutual funds at startup MetaMarkets.com and was a Managing Director at Barclays Global Investors in the 1990s. Plus he is widely renowned by media and institutions as a key expert in the field.

“By leveraging the ETF Flows digital footprint, unique content creation abilities, and machine learning capacity, Dave will help direct step-function improvements to our product offerings, including our ability to provide insights to the asset management community, especially as the modern financial advisor accelerates their transition from analog to digital consumption,” explained Tom Hendrickson, Co-Founder at ETF Flows LLC.
