Views from 6,230: Tidal Financial’s Steve Foy
Steve Foy, senior vice president of trading at Tidal Financial Group, explains Tidal’s full-stack ETF platform and ongoing support for clients, from product development and SEC filings to trading and operations.
Steve and host Ryan Nauman highlight active ETFs as a major shift from traditional indexing, the surge in defined outcome/buffered and derivative income products, and increasingly concentrated thematic ETFs driven in part by AI-related market changes.
The conversation addresses investor and advisor adoption of more complex derivative-based and leveraged products, emphasizing disclosures, education and suitability. They also cover auto callables, private market access following SpaceX-related developments, the speed of IPO-linked ETF launches, and what may come next, including prediction markets and evolving regulatory and tax considerations.
