Interview: Luciano Siracusano, Director of Research for ETF Firm WisdomTree Asset Management

Hello Luciano,

I want to thank you and the Seeking Alpha team for the creation of a conversation between traders and industry leaders. I very much hope this is the first in a series of such forums.

My question builds on Roger Nusbaum's excellent query about international bond ETFs. There is a huge gap at present between those who trade positions (active retail and prop traders) and those who trade portfolios (hedge fund and bank traders; money managers). With the expanding universe of ETFs, I believe this gap will narrow and we will start to see individual traders becoming their own portfolio managers.

What education do you engage in and what education do you foresee in the near future to help the active trading world take advantage of what is literally a universe of trading possibilities, such as those mentioned by Roger?

Thanks again,

Brett Steenbarger
