has increased its assets by over 1000% since the beginning of the year[2].
Hector McNeil,
Co-CEO of HANetf said “The success of HANetf’s growth this year has
largely been due to developing innovative new products to markets that are
capturing the interest and imagination of European investors. Our new funds this year have included a landmark
gold
ETC with The Royal Mint, the only gold ETC in Europe to custody gold at a
Sovereign Mint and not at a bank[3],
the world’s first central counterparty cleared, exchange
traded Bitcoin product[4],
and a host of modern thematic ETFs that include medical cannabis, which is
Europe’s first cannabis related ETF[5],

North American midstream energy and the World’s first Shariah compliant global
equity active ETF[7].
HANetf has also recently hired Anil
Sood as Head of Customer Acquisition. Reporting
to co-CEO Hector McNeil, Anil’s remit will be increasing the range of partners
and ETFs on HANetf white label platform.
Anil has extensive experience of ETFs with previous roles as Head of ETF
Sales at Cantor Fitzgerald and Director of ETF Sales at Knight Capital Group.
McNeil
went on to comment: “We are delighted to welcome Anil to
HANetf. The appetite for ETFs grows
stronger every day as investors are placing higher value on products that offer
great exposures with the added benefits of cost-effectiveness and liquidity.
This, in turn, is drawing more asset managers into the ETF space and they seek
to tap into the immensely effective distribution power of ETFs. Anil’s
experience in growing ETF businesses will be an important component of
developing exciting products for European investors.”

2017 by ETF industry pioneers Hector McNeil and Nik Bienkowski, HANetf was
