    Charlie Shaffer of TIFIN AMP, joins ETF TV to discuss how TIFIN AMP delivers intelligence at scale for asset managers

    Charlie Shaffer, the President and Chief Revenue Officer at TIFIN AMP, joins Margareta Hricova and Deboah Fuhr on ETF TV to discuss how TIFIN AMP leverage data to provide personalised intelligence at scale for asset managers.



    Charlie Shaffer, the President and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at TIFIN AMP, brings deep knowledge and roots in the world of fund distribution and transition management. Previously, he served as the Head of Distribution at Voya Investment and the Global Head of Distribution at Credit Suisse Asset Management. His expertise lies in addressing the challenges faced by asset managers dealing with an exponential increase in data over the past decade. The proliferation of CRM, digital marketing, social media, and third-party data has made integration nearly impossible. TIFIN AMP’s solution involves creating a data fabric that unifies and ingests various types of data, both structured and unstructured. By designing this fabric for intelligence, they empower asset managers with precision and actionable insights. Rather than blaming the CRM tools, TIFIN AMP focuses on leveraging data to drive personalized intelligence at scale for asset managers.

    Chad Wood, ETF Strategist at Mackenzie Investments joins ETF TV to discuss what Canadian investors should know when using ETFs.


    We discuss three typical misconceptions investors have about ETFs. One of the misconceptions we see, especially with speaking to end clients, is just what is an ETF. Number two we see quite a bit is around liquidity. Now number three is around how do you compare two ETFs when it comes to spread. Moving on to number four is foreign withholding taxes.

    Dr. Xiaolin Chen of KraneShares discussess the investment outlook for China on ETF TV

    Dr. Xiaolin Chen, Head of International at KraneShares unpacks her views on the Chinese economy and the wider implications on global markets. This is a very important year for China, as this is the second year of President Xi Jinping’s third term. This is the year that they have to deliver the economic results for them to achieve all the economic goal they have set out at the beginning of the third year, which is to modernize the society and urbanize the society. Last year, China delivered 5.2% of GDP growth. This year, we think they’re going right around that level, if not higher than that level.

    China is now reforming its financial markets means allowing for environmental, oil, bank, owned insurance on some of the industries and sectors used to be very restricted with foreign investments. They become more open, more welcoming international investments.

    Martin Leinweber at MarketVector Indexes discusses staking and innovation in crypto indexes

    Martin Leinweber at MarketVector Indexes discusses staking and innovation in crypto indexes

    We discuss how the integration of staking rewards combined with customization has set a new standard for digital asset indexes.

    MarketVector and Figment have aligned to provide a more comprehensive measure of the value of Ethereum. The partnership marries MarketVector’s expertise in index administration with Figment’s best-in-class Ethereum rewards rate reporting.

    The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate measures the annualized rate resulting from staking ETH on Ethereum. The Rewards Rate encompasses rewards from all activities on the Consensus Layer, including block proposals, attestations, sync committee, slashing reporting and the Execution Layer, including priority transaction fees and MEV. Penalties incurred from slashing are automatically deducted.

    The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index takes a comprehensive and flexible approach by combining Ethereum’s Consensus and Execution Layer rewards with the daily market price. This approach provides a holistic perspective on Ethereum’s performance, considering all possible reward sources and slashing incidents while utilizing reliable exchange data to capture the market price of Ethereum.

    A first-mover in staking-as-a-service, Figment provides staking and data solutions to some of the largest institutions in the digital asset space. MarketVector IndexesTM (“MarketVector”) together with Figment introduce two innovative indexes to provide a more comprehensive measure of the value of Ethereum. Learn how the partners have worked to combine Ethereum’s market performance with staking rewards into an innovative, customizable benchmark.

    The first products co-created by MarketVector and Figment include the soon-to-be-launched the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate and the MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Total Return Index. While the partnership’s initial focus is on solutions for institutions and investors in Ethereum, this partnership paves the way to expand and extend these capabilities to other digital assets in the future.

    The MarketVectorTM Figment Ethereum Staking Reward Reference Rate is a daily annualized rate of Ethereum rewards. These products are tailor-made for institutions, marrying MarketVector’s expertise in index administration with Figment’s best-in-class Ethereum rewards capture. Our initial focus is on Ethereum (ETH), paving the way for future opportunities to expand and extend these innovative products to other assets.
