Head of WisdomTree Europe Recognized for
Long-Term Contributions to ETF Investor Outcomes
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ:WETF), an exchange-traded fund
(“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset
manager, today announced that David Abner, Executive Vice President
and Head of WisdomTree Europe, received the ETF.com Lifetime
Achievement Award for 2017. The award recognizes individuals for
outstanding long-term contributions to ETF investor outcomes.
“It is an incredible honor to be recognized by ETF.com for the
Lifetime Achievement Award. From the time I was first exposed to
the ETF structure in the late 1990’s, I believed they had
tremendous opportunity for growth within the asset management
industry. And even with $5 trillion in assets globally, we are
still in the early innings; ETFs will continue to grow and evolve,
with the help of new technologies and changes in investing
behavior,” said David Abner, Head of WisdomTree Europe.
“The ETF industry has always been focused on creating a better
experience for investors, and that is something I am extremely
passionate about. WisdomTree will continue to lead this effort
through technology and innovation, working endlessly to ensure a
better investing experience for investors globally,” he added.
Abner joined WisdomTree in 2008 as Director of Institutional
Sales and Trading. In 2012, he was appointed Head of Capital
Markets, a position he held until August 2016, at which time he
relocated to London to lead WisdomTree’s expansion into Europe.
Prior to joining WisdomTree, Abner spent two years as a Managing
Director and Head of ETF Trading Americas at BNP Paribas. He began
his career in 1992 at Bear Stearns where he was Head of ETF Trading
within the Equity Derivatives group. Abner is the author of The ETF
Handbook (Wiley, 2010) and The Visual Guide to ETFs (Bloomberg,
2013). He is also the creator of the ETF Implied Liquidity
function, one of the most widely-used metrics for determining the
potential investable liquidity of an ETF.
Abner is the second WisdomTree executive to receive the Lifetime
Achievement Award, with Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree President
and CEO, receiving this honor in 2016.
In addition to the Lifetime Achievement Award, the WisdomTree
Balanced Income Fund (WBAL) was named Best New Asset Allocation
ETF.
