Sure, its got some exposure outside the U.S. - but its hedged from big currency moves, which dampens the vol.

If you could see any one regulatory requirement imposed on the ETF industry, OR any one regulatory requirement lifted, what would it be?
Dave Nadig
3:27
I'll not punt and say the SEC's new ETF Rule, because that used to be my answer, but with that in place:
I continue to think that ETFs should be gated based on their holdings/construction.  What I mean by that is - if I can't buy futures in my brokerage account, I shouldn'tbe able to buy an ETF that just holds a futures contract.
3:28
Similarly, if I am not approved for Margin, I shouldnt' be able to buy a leveraged product.
That would require, most likely, some hard rules from FINRA.
but that would be my one thing - clean up the regulatory framework aroudn that.

Just saw Fidelity is adding more zero-fee MFs. 1) Will zero fees bring the mutual fund back? 2) Who will be the first ETF issuer to launch a zero-fee ETF?
Dave Nadig

Zero fee is about acquiring accounts for Fidelity more than anything.  That's tough to do with an ETF, since anyone with a brokerage account can buy it.
I don't think you'll be able to buy those zero-fee funds from Fido at Schwab anytime soon.

So who could do it in ETFs? Someone with broad offerings that can make money elsewhere.  Again: Schwab seems like the most logical company to do it.  THey areadly do something similar with their robo platform.
Sorry I skipped over a few, I'll close with a fun one though:
