Ricardo Manrique is the head of strategy for FTSE Russell and has a great perspective on the global index business after having significant roles at other index companies, including MSCI, STOXX and Dow Jones.
With a global battle waging between exchanges over the FTSE Russell and MSCI indexes, as well as the rise of individual investor traders (Robinhood), John Lothian News interviewed Manrique over Zoom to talk about the index business and factors like ESG, Brexit and day traders and how they are influencing the global markets.
We also talked about the relationship between the U.S. and China and how that was playing out in the index business.
Here is our interview with Ricardo Manrique with the London Stock Exchange’s FTSE Russell derivatives business.
