Exchange-traded funds are expected to be one of the beneficiaries of the FoFA (Future of Financial Advice) reforms, which became mandatory on July 1.

Alta Vista Research head of sales and corporate development, Michael Turner, says as a product, ETFs have the flexibility of direct shares and the strength of a managed fund.
