Vanguard, BlackRock Map Out Global ETF Ambitions
Vanguard flew its chief executive Salim Ramji to London this week for a large client gathering with around 400 guests, one of a series of events marking the 50th anniversary of the business founded by Jack Bogle. Ramji was unable to attend the media reception following the client meeting held at the Frameless art gallery near Marble Arch, but several other members of the senior leadership team, including Jon Cleborne, head of Europe, and Joe Davis, who wears two hats as global chief economist and global head of the investment strategy group, were present. The effervescent Davis discussed how artificial intelligence and other megatrends, such as demographic changes, geopolitical tensions and rising government debt, would shape investing and asset allocation choices, the theme of his new book "Coming into View." He also revealed that Vanguard already employs more than 1,000 AI applications across its business, including core investment functions. Opportunities for the press to meet Vanguard's top leaders are tightly controlled, which is curious given Ramji is an accomplished public speaker overseeing remarkably strong new business growth. Vanguard's ETFs registered $147.7 billion in global net inflows already in the first four months of this year, ahead of its main rival BlackRock, which gathered $114.7 billion in worldwide new ETF business, according to data provider ETFGI. And Vanguard's oft-repeated core message, 'markets change, stay the course,' has again been shown to be effective advice with the S&P 500 rebounding more than 20% and entering a new bull market since its low after President Donald Trump's trade tariffs were unveiled on 'Liberation Day.' Vanguard has historically taken a distinctly low-key approach to promoting its business, but it has stepped up client engagement initiatives centered around its 50th anniversary. These include a burst of advertising in U.S. airports and train stations, cover wraps on the New York Times newspaper and ads on the NYT and Bloomberg websites. Familiar Vanguard themes—the importance of controlling investment costs and 'Helping investors keep more of their returns since 1975'—are highlighted in these advertisements. The use of aggressive price competition on fund fees, which has helped to drive down expense ratios across the U.S. fund industry—known as the 'Vanguard effect'—is featured in a new presentation on its website that also highlights other milestones, such as the start of its international business in 1996 when an office was opened in Melbourne, Australia. Vanguard's most important rival BlackRock has also just released a new advertising campaign with the tag 'The Market is Yours' to mark the 25th anniversary of the iShares ETF brand. A cynic might wonder if the new iShares promotion has been timed as a spoiler to Vanguard's advertising. Journalists are notoriously cynical. But the adverts do provide a contrast between the approach of both companies. Vanguard's focus is repeating familiar key messages while the distinctly content-light iShares film, directed by the creator of numerous corporate adverts Reynald Gresset, is all about the 'vibes,' as kids say these days. Far more detailed was the recent BlackRock investor day, where the entire senior leadership of the company rammed home its ambitions to grow in active ETFs, crypto, artificial intelligence, model portfolios and private markets by 2030 in a carefully orchestrated event that stretched over almost five hours. BlackRock aims to grow its revenues from the $20 billion reported last year to at least $35 billion in 2030 and to double its market value from $140 billion to $280 billion, excluding any boost from positive market movements. The phenomenal growth of the iShares ETF platform since it was acquired from Barclays in 2009 has provided BlackRock with the financial power to make the trio of acquisitions—Global Infrastructure Partners, credit investment shop HPS Investment Partners and the private fund data provider Preqin—that will now expand its reach deep into private markets where investors pay higher fees. While BlackRock's pivot toward private markets has garnered a great deal of media attention, the company also emphasised its aggressive ambitions for future ETF growth. Active ETFs were highlighted as a structural growth target, which BlackRock wants to develop into a $500 million revenue stream. BlackRock also reiterated that the European ETF market had reached an inflection point for adoption in 2024 and has now shifted onto a similar growth track to that taken by the U.S. market over the previous decade. BlackRock's projections suggest that if the European ETF market does maintain its growth momentum—a big assumption—then it would reach the $10 trillion mark sometime in the early 2040s. Such projections are highly debatable given the fragmentation problems that have curtailed growth across Europe's ETF ecosystem and remain unresolved, but earlier BlackRock forecasts for ETF asset growth, which might have appeared improbable at the time, have turned out to be accurate. More broadly, the challenges that BlackRock is presenting across multiple fronts are in clear view for all of its rivals to see. Vanguard and all of the competitors to BlackRock across the investment industry certainly have a huge fight ahead.

Jarren Duran of Red Sox gets 100% real about fans at Yankee Stadium
The post Jarren Duran of Red Sox gets 100% real about fans at Yankee Stadium appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Boston Red Sox want to turn their season around after falling to fourth place in the American League East. They sent their ace pitcher Garrett Crochet to the mound Saturday night in their first series of the year against the New York Yankees. The high-profile series between the two ancient rivals brought out the national television cameras of the Fox Network. That broadcast regularly features an in-game interview with a player in the game, and broadcasters Joe Davis and John Smoltz spoke to Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran during the second inning at Yankee Stadium. Advertisement The Red Sox took the field in the bottom of the second with a 1-0 lead, but Austin Wells hit a three-run home run for the Yankees. Despite seeing his team lose the lead — temporarily — Duran kept up his conversation with the broadcasters. He said he enjoyed playing in front of the vocal Yankee fans, but he was getting a bit of a respite because he was conversing with Davis and Smoltz. 'Knowing you're playing the Yankees, who are always good, you got the fans behind you, chirping you all game,' Duran said. 'Which is kind of nice, having you guys in my ear, I can't even hear 'em right now.' Red Sox fight back, but have a long way to go Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images After the Wells blast, the Red Sox showed signs of life by scoring five runs in the top of the third inning and two more run in the fourth inning. However, the Red Sox have lost 9 of 12 games and are 10 1/2 games behind the Yankees. Advertisement Their 30-35 record is a major disappointment because they were expected to make a run at a playoff spot this season and possibly compete with the Yankees for first place in the division this season. There is time to turn their season around, but the team has played poorly from a defensive perspective and their inability to hit with runners in scoring position has been a major problem for manager Alex Cora. The Red Sox have suffered major injuries to superstar third baseman Alex Bregman and first baseman Triston Casas. Bregman was playing at an All-Star level before he suffered a quad injury in mid-May. He is expected to be out of action for approximately two months. Casas was struggling badly before he ruptured his patellar tendon and was lost for the season. The Red Sox have been looking for an adequate replacement for him at first base but have not found one. Advertisement If the Red Sox have any chance of rebounding from this point, they need improvement from their pitching staff, defense and all-around play.

NFL announcer Greg Olsen makes true feelings on Tom Brady clear after legend stole his Fox Sports job
NFL broadcaster Greg Olsen has revealed his true feelings for Tom Brady after the legend replaced him at Fox's top football color commentator - they're 'very good friends'. The longtime Patriot and Buccaneer replaced the former Panthers tight end to become part of the No 1 pair for the network in the broadcast booth. Olsen was demoted to the No 2 crew by a rookie commentator, with his feelings on the move staying low-key until now. 'I always make sure I'm very clear where my personal aspirations to continue to ascend in this industry and to get back calling those games are completely independent of Tom and I,' Olsen said on 'Pardon My Take'. 'We've hung out, personally. We talk on the phone, we keep in touch, he sent a cool video for my youth football team… we talk about raising teenage daughters, we've gone to play golf together, we hung out at the Bahamas at a little retreat. We've gotten to be very good friends on a very personal level since he's joined Fox.' Olsen still has a desire to be part of a top broadcast duo in the NFL and appears to see every call as an opportunity. Brady signed a 10-year, $375million contract with Fox as he transitioned from field to booth 'There's this idea that there's this personal animosity and competition. There's not,' Olsen continued. 'My relationship with Tom and Fox and Joe Davis and Burkhardt and all my people at Fox couldn't be better.' 'On the other parallel line to that, yes, I want to ascend in the industry, and I'm sure Joe Davis wants to call Super Bowls as well, that doesn't mean he doesn't like Burkhardt. Any motivated guy, you want to be the best at what you do. That is not a knock on the people that are ahead of you.' Brady signed a 10-year, $375million contract with Fox, as the football legend transitioned from the field to the broadcast booth. Last month, Brady was on the receiving end of as major snub from the Emmys, with him not being nominated in the 'Outstanding Personality/Event Analyst' category, while watching Olsen get the nod. Olsen was nominated in the category for the fourth straight year alongside Troy Aikman, longtime Brady rival Peyton Manning, Bill Raftery, and John Smoltz.
