In this webinar, Patrick Cleary (CEO, ETF Architect) will outline how RIAs can effectively launch their own proprietary ETFs to manage client assets. As advisers seek innovative ways to raise assets, retain clients, and leverage technology to scale their business, Mr. Cleary will highlight the unique ways in which an ETF can (for certain firms) increase efficiency, minimize taxes, and streamline the portfolio management process. Mr. Cleary will also discuss the highlights of a 351(a) transaction, which enables SMA assets to be contributed to an ETF in order to seed the fund without incurring unnecessary taxable gains as compared to a traditional sale of assets.
