In this International Women's Day special episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with two women leaders from the ETF industry, about two very unique ETFs.
In the first part, I am joined by Perth Tolle, founder of Life + Liberty Indexes, and in the second part, my guest is Leah Wald, CEO and co-founder of Valkyrie, a financial services firm with over $1 billion in assets.
Perth created the index for the Alpha Architect Freedom 100 Emerging Market ETF (FRDM - Free Report) , which has no exposure to countries like Russia, China and Saudi Arabia that have poor freedom and human rights record.
Russia has become a global pariah thanks to crippling financial sanctions imposed by the US and its western allies. Further, most major companies including Apple (AAPL - Free Report) and Microsoft (MSFT - Free Report) have either decided to suspend operations in the country, or pulled out entirely.
As Russian stocks have become almost worthless lately and Chinese stocks have been beaten down over the past year, FRDM has significantly outperformed the broader emerging market indexes. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM - Free Report) and Samsung Electronics (SSNLF) are the top holdings in the fund.
Valkyrie focuses on digital assets, and offers three ETFs. They recently launched the Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI - Free Report) , which holds miners that primarily rely on renewable energy. Its holdings include miners like Bitfarms (BITF - Free Report) and HIVE Blockchain , as also chip makers like NVIDIA (NVDA - Free Report) and AMD (AMD - Free Report) .
Bitcoin had rallied briefly last week but it remains well below its all-time high of nearly $69,000 reached last November. The rally was reportedly driven by Russians converting their cash in order to evade financial sanctions. We discuss the investment case for Bitcoin and miners.
