Welcome to another insightful episode of the Rainmaker Podcast hosted by Gui Kostin, Founder and CEO of Dakota. This week, Gui engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Jeff Carlin, CFA, Senior Managing Director and Head of Global Wealth Advisory at Nuveen. Jeff shares his extensive journey from his roots in San Francisco to becoming a pivotal figure in the investment industry, highlighting the milestones of his career, including his roles at Smith Barney, Charles Schwab, and IndexIQ before joining Nuveen in 2010.Jeff unpacks the evolution of Nuveen's wealth distribution strategy and the shift towards prioritizing impactful advisor relationships. By leveraging lessons from the SaaS industry, Jeff and his team focus on efficiency, segmentation, and team-oriented structures to optimize advisor engagement. He emphasizes the importance of de-channelization, segmenting advisors by their operational style rather than labels, and aligning sales structures to address dynamic client needs.A key highlight of the episode is Jeff's analogy of sales teams as jazz ensembles—finding harmony by following a consistent core structure while allowing individual creativity. He delves into the significance of clear communication, leveraging CRMs for accountability, and fostering a culture of respect and collaboration within sales teams.Jeff also provides advice for aspiring professionals in sales, stressing the value of patience, continuous learning, and embracing mentorship—whether through direct interaction or by observing industry leaders. He touches on the challenges of attracting and retaining top talent, emphasizing the necessity of aligning individual motivations with organizational culture.The episode concludes with Jeff's vision for sustainable success: building teams that are not just results-driven but also operate cohesively and ethically. Gui wraps up by reflecting on the core principles shared and their applicability to building thriving distribution organizations.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio, we are joined by Jack Jones better known on trail as Quadzilla.  Quadzilla has packed a lot of life into his time on this earth- he is a bonafide renaissance man with a great outlook on life.  We chat about his time in the army, running a CrossFit gym in his late 20s, serving as a wildland firefighter, participating in several multi-day meditation retreats, backpacking thousands of miles including the triple crown, we touch on his bikepacking, and Chaunce and I lather him with an uncomfortable amount of praise on those giant, beautiful quads.  Needless to say, this conversation covers a lot of ground- we certainly enjoyed it a lot and hope you do too. We wrap the show with a triple crown of our new year's resolutions, we give a shoutout to the youngest person to complete all eleven National Scenic Trails, and the details for the Backpacker Radio Sponsorship are officially announced.  2022 thru-hikers, you can enter today.  [divider] Listen   Download this episode.

We sit down with Chris Hempstead, Director of institutional business development at IndexIQ, to discuss ETF distribution and some of the challenges that ETF issuers face when it comes to getting the word out on their product.

Fixed income investing isn't meant to be exciting, but in 2020 it has certainly not been boring. Kelly Ye, director of research at IndexIQ and a fixed income expert, shares her timely insight on what's driving the massive segment, and what opportunities she sees ahead.

ETF.com’s Heather Bell discusses the spike in ETF closures and highlights several recent launches.  AllianzIM’s Johan Grahn explains their decision to enter the ETF space with the launch of buffered outcome ETFs.  IndexIQ’s Sal Bruno offers his take on the current financial markets and lays out the case for alternative strategies.

CNBC’s Bob Pisani speaks with Dave Nadig, chief investment officer and director of research at ETF Trends and ETF Database, and Chris Hempstead, director of institutional business development at IndexIQ. They discussed exchange-traded note delistings and the risks they pose to investors, gold’s winning streak this year, online retail, and some top headlines in the ETF space. In the markets 102 segment Bob discusses the work from home ETF.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of catching up with ETF Industry veteran Chris Hemstead, now Director of Institutional Business Development at IndexIQ, part of New York Life Investment Company.  Chris reflects on last March’s market meltdown and how ETFs performed during this tumultuous period.  He also shares his optimism about the growth of the ETF market and the potential for innovative product development such as actively-managed ETFs.  Finally, Chris explains how active management can pick up nuances overlooked by pure passive-based approaches to portfolio construction, such as in the area of ESG (Sustainability) Investing. 

CNBC’s Bob Pisani spoke with Douglas Yones, head of exchange-traded products at the New York Stock Exchange, Salvatore Bruno, chief investment officer at IndexIQ, and Todd Rosenbluth, senior director of ETF and mutual fund research at CFRA Research. They discussed what Chinese stock delistings could mean for emerging-market funds and low-volatility ETF’s rebalancing. In the 'Markets 102' section, Bob discusses the growing dominance of ETFs.
