Exchange ETF 2025, held in Miami Beach, brought together thousands of financial professionals, industry leaders, and global investors to explore the evolving world of ETFs, portfolio management, and macroeconomic trends.
A Data-Driven, Global Perspective
This year’s conference agenda focused on actionable investment ideas and global economic signals. Thought leaders from J.P. Morgan, BlackRock, Vanguard, and other institutions shared in-depth market analyses and forward-looking strategies.
Among the keynote speakers was David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. His main message: Stay informed, think long-term, and ignore the hype.

Lyubomyr Ostapiv’s Observations from Exchange ETF 2025
Lyubomyr Ostapiv, founder of Wealth Gardens, attended the conference to bring the latest industry insights to clients in the U.S., Europe, and Ukraine. Below are his reflections:
1. ETFs Are the Future
"ETFs have passed $10 trillion in AUM and are growing fast. I believe they’re the best tool for diversified, cost-effective investing—especially when paired with a personalized strategy."
2. Active Strategies Are Back
"Modern active ETFs, such as buffer funds and multifactor models, offer institutional-level strategies at a fraction of traditional costs. But I caution against derivatives-based ETFs for retail investors without proper guidance."
3. Global Diversification Is Timely
"U.S. equities have led for 15 years, but 2025 could be a turning point. Many advisors are starting to overweight international stocks. Currency trends may support this shift as well."
4. Fixed Income Requires Skill
"Active bond managers are now outperforming. Fixed income is complex—smart management here can really add value."
5. The Policy Landscape Is Volatile
"With unpredictable decisions coming out of Washington, we’re likely to see more volatility—especially in large-cap U.S. stocks."
6. Caution Around Private Asset ETFs
"This is still an emerging space. Let’s observe how these ETFs perform before rushing in."
