  • Thoroughly explores ETF’s

    Trillions does a great job covering the world of ETF’s. This is not a podcast that just glazes over the basics. Love it.

  • Dividends over day jobs

    Fun conversation. I wanted to hear about the guy who saw his traditional IRA get smoked by tariff announcements, then watch it bounce back when the president decided to pause the strategy. But then announced some tariff target, crushing guy’s position, but then reversing that, also.

    Is that the sort of future you prefer as long term investor? What wrong with taking big return on a daily basis, independent of the daily whim of political actors?

  • Started Good, but Should Have Ended

    I’ve listened to this podcast from its beginnings. The beginning was fantastic: it explained ETF structure, tax efficiency, broad indexing, Bogle, etc. Over time, it’s run out of general topics and has gone into increasingly niche areas. Some of those have been interesting discussions (long/short Jim C. was fun), but it’s long ceased to be generally useful.

    The hosts’ recent crypto obsession has me noping-out and finally unsubscribing. There are much better financial podcast out there (some ev... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Memory AI Trade
Q: Why did it take so long for an ETF like this memory-focused product to come to market?
The lack of ADRs for key Korean memory makers made it challenging to create a straightforward US-listed vehicle; investors needed a format like an ETF to unlock access to Korea's memory players, which helped unlock the idea for a dedicated memory ETF.
Will Prediction Markets Come to ETFs?
Q: How would a Kalshi- or Polymarket-style prediction market be packaged into an ETF?
An ETF would hold exposure to the binary outcome via swaps or direct contracts, capturing the price movement of the underlying prediction market in an easy-to-trade wrapper similar to other ETF structures, with liquidity and counterparty arrangements managed by the sponsor.
That Mutual Fund Has an ETF Now
Q: How does the ETF share class work in practice, and what are the two access points for investors?
There is one underlying portfolio with two access points: investors can buy it directly from the manager like a mutual fund, or buy it on an exchange through the ETF share class, effectively giving investors both forms under one strategy.
Freedom Has Paid Off For this Indie ETF
Q: Are there any unexpected emerging markets you have your eye on for potential breakout?
Perth mentions countries benefitting from migration, like Colombia and Poland, as well as India, which has a growing population but fluctuating freedom levels.
Freedom Has Paid Off For this Indie ETF
Q: Do you think that the popularity of your ETF is due to what you own or what you don't own?
Perth states that it is more about what they own, although not owning certain countries certainly helped mitigate risks and contributed to outperformance.
