Sometimes, it's not about the exclusions, it's about what you get to include as a result.
"Life + Liberty Indexes created Freedom 100, an emerging markets benchmark that weights countries and companies on civil, political, and economic freedom. Notably absent are Chinese and Saudi firms, and also partially state-owned enterprises...that has allowed their associated ETF to overweight Taiwan, South Korea, Chile and Poland and to beat the broad emerging markets index handily since the fund's launch more than seven years ago."
From "Does Less is More Work for ETFs" by @Spencerjakab for @WSJ

Chinese government attributes amazing capacity to Chinese people: the ability to be offended by something they are not allowed to see.

This controversy is absolutely nuts. The Mao revisionism is *wild*, with state media demanding that foreigners bend the knee to an excrescence who killed tens of millions of their own ancestors. This ridiculous headline, together the humiliating capitulation of the sports world. Mbappe said something that anyone who has had a passing glance at history knows: Mao was not merely a dictator, but the biggest killer of the last century.
In case anyone was wondering about PRC influence in sport, you have your answer. And in case anyone was wondering about how quickly “private” Chinese companies (sponsors) can be mobilised to do the bidding of the Party State, voilá. Getting the picture yet?
This is the Whole-of- State approach in action people. Everything is the Party, and nothing can challenge it.
Major brands in China have dropped Kylian Mbappé over a clip in which the French football megastar appeared to mock Mao Zedong, China’s modern founding leader.

I can't believe it but @CharlesSchwab is following @Fidelity down the morally bankrupt path of charging retail investors insane fees to trade ETFs.
Instead of $100 it's going to be $50.
So maybe they're 1/2 as evil?
"Yes we're screwing over our own customers but at least we're not as bad as @Fidelity!"
Would be embarrassed to work at either shop.
Gross.

Is it monopolistic behavior to exclude a $25b ETF from search just because it doesn't pay you extortion fees?

Appreciation post for whoever was responsible for the #ETFArchitect conference swag bag, the new GOAT of swag bags. Notice the custom details on the medallion. And somehow, even the sizing was perfect. 👏👏👏👏👏

Lot of indie (ETF) spirit at the @alphaarchitect event in Philly yesterday hanging out w/ @ckaiwu @Perth_Tolle @MebFaber and many others such as @TaxAlphaInsider & @ppearlman. Really fun event, and the rare home game for me. Close enough to walk home.
