If you or someone from your firm is interested in having their voice heard on the ETF dual share class topic, please contact Sarah Walter ([email protected]) to learn more.

Nicsa is proud to serve as a catalyst for collaboration across the asset and wealth management industry. As firms navigate a rapidly evolving landscape, we remain committed to providing timely, practical resources to support their journey.
