Three Innovative Ways ETFs are Transforming Institutional Investing

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Institutions are increasingly using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) as precision investment tools to access new investment opportunities with simple and efficient trades that would not have been previously considered or possible. To demonstrate the new ways ETFs are being used by institutional investors, the iShares Institutional team at BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) offers three case studies: Glovista Investments getting exposure to “illiquid” Frontier Markets, Laffer Investments accessing unexpected liquidity from a new ETF, and an insurance company improving operational efficiency in smaller portfolios.
