Under the Hood | What index are you tracking? And how is it made?

We're back with our series all about ETFs, supported by Global X. Today we're looking at what indexes passive ETFs follow and how and who decides what goes in them? We also ask who are some of the most common index providers we should know? And why would you use an index provider rather than making the index yourself?This episode we're looking at ROBO - Global Robotics and Automation ETF. Global X is a leading player in the ETF industry, with a robust platform and over 30 targeted products globally. They have a trusted reputation with over a million clients in 95 countries, and are uniquely positioned to identify and analyze disruptive companies with their industry-leading research team and global access.If you want to let Alec or Bryce know what you think of an episode, contact them here. Stay engaged with the Equity Mates community by joining our forum. Want more Equity Mates?
