ETF Trends is adding an ETF industry heavyweight with 25 years of experience to its roster.

Todd Rosenbluth is joining ETF Trends and ETF Database as head of research. Rosenbluth most recently served as head of ETF and mutual fund research at CFRA, where he served for five years after previously leading funds and stock research teams at S&P Global.

"Todd is a leading authority on ETFs and is well respected in the industry. Adding his expertise and prominence will further deepen our ETF research platform," said Tom Lydon, CEO at ETF Trends, in released comments. "Todd’s insights are considered a go-to resource by advisors, index providers and ETF issuers alike.”

Dave Nadig, ETF Trends’ current director of research and a well-known ETF pioneer, will become the firm’s "financial futurist," a newly created role that will focus on emerging trends that could shape the future of the ETF industry.
