Getting anyone’s attention now, let alone having them “take a meeting” is “impossible” — we know — we’re hired to make it happen. Any new offerings are quickly diluted in the flood of other information. So best of luck on that. Rebranding take a lot of work and expense.

Curious what the research is on ETF f-o-f effectiveness. Anyone know? Any academic studies and evidence for support?

Taking the long view is fine as long as, in the interim, a whole new class of offerings doesn’t “skunk” you — which can happen.
