Episode 43: Navigating Markets with Todd Sohn, CMT

Fill The Gap: The Official Podcast of the CMT Association

In this episode of Fill the Gap: The Official Podcast of the CMT Association, we welcome Todd Sohn, CMT, a leading ETF strategist and technical market analyst at Strategas. Todd shares his unique perspective on the ever-evolving $10 trillion ETF landscape, which has seen explosive growth in recent years. We explore the rapid rise of actively managed ETFs, now comprising over 8% of total ETF assets—a figure that has doubled in just the past three years.

Join us as Todd dives into actionable insights for managing rapid sector rotation, the critical intersections of thematic investing with trend following, and the importance of sentiment and fund flow data, with notable closures of China-focused ETF products. He also examines how cap-weighted indices and ETF products compound the concentration dilemma and offers his thoughts on how to best manage risk.

Whether you're a seasoned investor or new to ETFs and technical analysis, this episode delivers expert-level guidance for navigating today's complex markets. Tune in for an engaging discussion packed with practical advice, professional anecdotes, and Todd's distinctive approach to solving market puzzles.
