The Fastest-Growing ETFs for Advisors
ETFs are booming, and RIAs want in on the action. Advisors are diving headfirst into the rapidly growing exchange-traded fund industry, with assets expected to surpass those of mutual funds by 2030, according to JPMorgan. A recent AdvizorPro report listed the 10 ETF issuers with the largest change in the number of RIAs using their products, based on data from the 13F filings of 5,136 SEC-registered firms. On the whole, thematic, high-fee, and tactical ETFs outperformed, with ETF turnover remaining high despite a slowdown in fund launches. It's an area of the fund industry that advisors will want to keep a close eye on. READ ALSO: Why Black Americans Save Less and How Advisors Can Help and Investor Advocacy Group Criticizes FINRA's Remote Inspections One reason for the shift toward niche strategies is younger advisor teams, said Hesom Parhizkar, chief technology officer at AdvizorPro. 'The data is proving that you don't have to have a super-long 10 years to start raising assets,' Parhizkar said. 'Smaller teams, potentially some younger families or clients, [are saying], 'Hey, I want to allocate my investments here, here, here.'' Eldridge, an investment adviser specializing in structured credit, saw the most growth, at 41.5%. BondBloxx Investment Management, another newer fixed-income player that launched in 2021, was second, at 34.22%. These managers — as well as Defiance ETFs and Harbor Capital Advisors — beat out more established names, like Franklin Templeton and Motley Fool, because of 'heightened demand for alternatives and persistent rate volatility,' per the report. The top three fastest-growing ETFs by number of RIA investors also back up the ongoing shift to alternatives: Pacer's US Large Cap Cash Cows Growth Leaders ETF (COWG), which invests in large-cap companies with high free cash flow margins, saw the most growth, at 46%, and is up 10.69% year-to-date. Eldridge's BBB-B CLO ETF (CLOZ), which invests in CLOs, took second, at 42% growth, and was up 2.9% year-to-date. Simplify's Managed Futures Strategy ETF (CTA), which invests in equity, US Treasury, commodity, and foreign exchange futures contracts, saw 41% growth and was down 1.5% year-to-date. The next fastest-growing ETFs were First Trust Advisors' Cboe Vest U.S. Equity Moderate Buffer ETF (GFEB), the first buffer on the list, and BlackRock's AAA CLO ETF (CLOA). Best of Both Worlds. Niche strategies are having a heyday amid market volatility, and Parhizkar said the long-term trend remains directed away from mutual funds toward the ETF landscape, even for RIAs. 'A lot of these mutual fund companies are overlaying ETFs on top of mutual funds,' he said. 'ETFs are lower cost, but they're also just more liquid… So [among] RIAs that have traditionally been doing mutual funds — my guess is that has been increasing.'

Giants' Matt Chapman might be ahead of schedule in return from hand injury
Matt Chapman took a big step toward returning from a right hand strain on Tuesday, throwing for the first time since his injury and taking 20 swings off a tee. The San Francisco Giants third baseman said everything went well and he is hopeful he will come off the IL for the team's final homestand before the All-Star break, which would be slightly ahead of schedule. 'All signs point to yes,' he said. 'But until I face velocity and really start to push it, it's hard to know.' Manager Bob Melvin stressed that the most important indication will be Wednesday, when the team learns how Chapman came out of Tuesday's activity, but Melvin is optimistic about the before-the-break timeline, too. Undecided is whether Chapman will need a rehab assignment or not. He's going to work out at the Giants' Arizona complex when the team is on the road later in the week, and he'd prefer not to have a rehab assignment unless really needed. More For You Giants demote Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A, opening up second base opportunity Chapman has been out since June 8, with Casey Schmitt filling in ably at third. When Chapman returns, the Giants might well shuffle Schmitt to second, especially after sending Tyler Fitzgerald down Monday. Schmitt will be taking grounders at second as well as third until then. The Giants envision Fitzgerald returning to the club at some point; he showed so much promise at shortstop last season but he has struggled much of this season. His play at second has been mostly good, but he's batting .230 with two homers in 178 at-bats and he's also been prone to some baserunning mistakes. 'When I talked to him, he was like, 'I get it, I need to go down there and get some at-bats and get some confidence back,' ' Melvin said. 'Last year, when that happened, he came back up here and he was good. Sometimes with younger players, when they struggle some, it's a little bit harder, especially for a guy that's had a lot of success.' Fitzgerald hit .282 with 14 homers in 68 games after being recalled last June after batting .235 in the six weeks before that. Chapman is a mentor to the younger infielders and, he said of Fitzgerald's demotion, 'I think it was needed for him. It's tough. You saw how much success he had last year, and we all know what he's capable of doing. … He needs to just go get it right.' Eldridge out: The Giants' top prospect, first baseman Bryce Eldridge, will miss four weeks or so with a right hamstring strain the team described as moderate. Eldridge, who was batting .230 with three homers since being promoted to Triple-A Sacramento on June 3, will rehab at the team's Arizona complex. There had been thought Eldridge, 20, might get a callup late in the season, but with the team adding Rafael Devers (who is learning to play first base) and Dominic Smith, there is no urgency for him to do so and top baseball exec Buster Posey has said the team does not plan to rush Eldridge.

Hundreds line intersection for Highland ‘No Kings' protest
Indivisible NWI organizers in Highland had much to be proud about during the No Kings protest at Indianapolis Boulevard and Ridge Road Saturday afternoon. With at least 700 people lining three of that intersection's four corners in what had to be the largest protest that area has seen in years, Highland Police, while present, were able to stay largely in the background because protestors were more interested in waving their signs than causing calamity. The group also pulled together a 10-person 'Safety Team' who went around with cold bottled water and snacks for the crowd, Indivisible NWI Organizer Kim Eldridge said. More important than the snacks, however, were the signs Safety Team members held that said 'Stay back. Stay Safe.' They came in handy during a particularly tense moment with some passersby. 'There were some people in a car that started saying stuff, and there were some of our people who were ready to respond back,' Eldridge said. 'We got in front of them and held up the signs telling them to stay back, and then they caught themselves because we do not want to engage in any of that.' Another Safety Team member had an even trickier situation: An older man with a gun on his hip walking through the crowd, she said. The team member went to talk to the man. '(The team member) is a big guy, so he took it upon himself to talk to the man, and he told (the team member) he was a Trump supporter and wanted to see what we were doing,' Eldridge said. 'We're one of the totally nonviolent groups, and our guy was able to diffuse the situation and told him, 'I understand that Indiana is an Open Carry state, so that's why I'm not going to go to the police,' and the man thanked him. 'The Safety Team worked great! Now, we just have to start clearing people out so we don't overstay our welcome.' Eldridge remembers that not so long ago, they would have a call out for a protest or rally, and if 30 people signed up, maybe 10 would show. At least for now, those days seem to be gone, as Indivisible had 500 people respond that they would be there Saturday. 'Not anymore,' she said. 'We'll have 40 people come to a meeting, and then 100 people will show up to a protest. It's been amazing.' Jason Kirk, a former steelworker from Gary, chatted with Hammond Councilman Scott Rakos, D-6 about the goings-on. Rakos said he was out there because he wants people to know he cares a great deal about what's happening in the country. 'This president is horrible, and what upsets me the most is that there are intelligent people who I've known for years who're buying into him,' Rakos said. 'I'm out here because we need more people involved.' 'The last five months feel like it's been five years,' Kirk added. 'Being a union member, once you get a momentum going, the group follows. When people get mad enough, they'll start coming out; let's just hope it's not too late by then.' The Rev. Mark Kurowski, who founded The Church of St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic Apostolic Church in Hammond, ran tirelessly around the crowd with a megaphone. For him, protesting is fighting for the country's very soul. 'I've been worried about us getting taken over by Christian Nationalists since Reagan,' Kurowski said. 'Trump claimed to be a Christian, but I don't see a servant in Trump, someone who would sacrifice themselves for the good of the people, so I have a responsibility to call him out. 'We ought not ever cozy up to power and money.' While some people brought levity by serenading the crowd with music, one couple brought along a pinata made in Trump's likeness. The man — who asked that his and his wife's names not be used for fear of retaliation — said he got it in a Chicago Mexican candy store that was selling pinatas of the president and ICE agents. 'I'm the son of an immigrant who worked on a farm, and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her sacrifices,' the man said. 'We're a land of immigrants, and she came here for a better life.' His wife looked over at a group of three Hispanic Trump supporters traipsing through the crowd and shook her head. 'I don't understand these people,' she said of the group. 'My parents are first-generation Mexican, and they're Trump supporters, but they were lucky they were able to become citizens. These people get everything they want and then turn their backs on everyone else.'

‘Systemic failure': At the State House, Muslims tell stories of Islamophobia, advocate for permanent civil rights commission
Sumaira Afzal, a Muslim advisor at Simmons University, said she supports the bill because of the instances of discrimination she's heard about in the city and state. There was no question, she said, as to whether those instances had gone up after the Advertisement 'It's important for me to talk to my representatives and convey our concerns so we can make this state and community a safe space for everybody,' she said. Advertisement Attendees also lobbied for the State Senator Jamie Eldridge and state Representative Vanna Howard, both Democrats, are the lead sponsors of the so-called Muslim Commission Bill. Eldridge said he introduced the bill because there is no commission to support Muslim civil rights, as there are for other minorities, including the 'The truth is, Massachusetts has long benefited from the strength and contribution of its Muslim residents, but that hasn't been matched by recognition in our state government,' Eldridge said. The senator, who represents the Middlesex and Worcester district, said he's heard 'very challenging, very heartbreaking' stories about harassment faced by Muslim constituents. 'And we know that Islamophobia has only increased in the past few months, few years,' he said. Attendees broke out into groups to lobby dozens of representatives throughout the day. One group was comprised of about 30 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders at Alhuda Academy in Worcester. At the Massachusetts State House, the Council on American-Islamic Relations - MA hosted a legislative briefing on Muslim lobby day to advocate for several bills protecting Muslims in Massachusetts. David L. Ryan/Globe Staff Accompanied by four teachers, they filed into the office of Sen. Robyn Kennedy, a Democrat from Worcester, and detailed some of the challenges they faced, including bullying and harassment in their own neighborhoods. Another group of three met with Democratic Rep. Rob Consalvo's legislative aid Emily Carrara. Kynza Khimani, who graduated Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in 2024, told Carrara that many community members at the university experienced harassment for wearing hijabs, and she once came across people in Harvard Square yelling that 'Islam is for terrorists.' Advertisement 'The [commission] would establish a permanent body to study and respond to the issues facing Muslim communities in Massachusetts, like civil rights, education, and public safety, which is now, more than ever, really necessary for our communities,' Khimani told Carrara. Legislators and their aides largely indicated support for the bill, lobbyists said. Toward the end of the day, multiple advocates read out victim impact statements from people represented in court by CAIR-MA. Others shared their own stories of harassment, including Aimen Tahir, a recent high school graduate. Tahir said she was once 'chased down the hall' in her freshman year of high school because someone wanted to 'comment' on her hijab. 'Every year, I feel the heat of everyone's faces upon me during the moment of silence for 9/11, as if I'm the perpetrator of criminal when I wasn't even born at the time,' she said. Fatuma Mohamed, the director of youth advocacy for CAIR-MA, said the increase in harassment is a 'systemic failure' and 'growing crisis.' 'Muslim students across Massachusetts are being harassed, silenced, and left behind, without the structures in place to protect or support them,' she said. Mohamed said the commission wouldn't 'fix everything overnight' but could be a tool to build systemic change. 'It will signal to Muslim students that their state sees them, values them, and is committed to protecting them,' she said. Advertisement Emily Spatz can be reached at
