Ed Rosenberg of Texas Capital Bank - Investing in Texas and the Future of the ETF Industry

Orion's The Weighing Machine

The case for investing in Texas goes beyond its iconic cowboy culture and vast scenery. It's deeply rooted in the state's business-friendly environment and thriving economic network. Capitalizing on its unique blend of tax advantages and unmatched potential for economic growth, Texas has emerged as an attractive destination for financial investments. Meanwhile, the ETF industry is expected to sustain its upward trajectory, with more assets flowing from mutual funds to ETFs.

In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Edward Rosenberg, Managing Director and Head of ETF and Funds Management at Texas Capital Bank. Edward believes that every firm needs to have ETFs in its offerings, whether they realize it or not. Why? ETFs offer trading flexibility, diversification, greater transparency, tax benefits, and lower operating costs than traditional open-end funds. There is so much room for expansion, and the possibilities are endless.

Edward talks to Rusty and Robyn about the case for investing in Texas. He explains how Texas's business-friendly environment and tax benefits can contribute to a company's bottom line. Edward also shares his thoughts on the future of the ETF industry, including the projected growth and the role of direct indexing and model portfolios.
