With more than 5,000 ETFs on the market, figuring out which ones are right for you has become increasingly challenging.

On this episode of the MoneyShow MoneyMasters Podcast, we caught up with industry expert Dave Nadig to break down what’s really happening inside the ETF boom.

He explains how and why ETFs have become the default way investors get market exposure, which new innovations are fueling growth, and the benefits and drawbacks of various funds. Among those covered: Buffered ETFs, option-income funds, and leveraged products.

Dave has been around since the earliest days of ETFs, with leadership roles at ETF.com, FactSet, and Barclays Global Investors. He’s seen innovation create value and he’s seen it create traps.

Bottom line? ETFs can be powerful tools, or expensive distractions. This episode helps you tell the difference.

Reminder: Dave will be speaking at the 2026 MoneyShow/TradersEXPO Las Vegas, scheduled for Feb. 23-25. Click HERE to register.
