Modern Investing with Sidepocket: Dhruv Vig on Leveraging Pure-Play ETFs for Focused Exposure

Navigating today’s investment landscape can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). In our latest conversation, Dhruv Vig, CEO of Langar Holdings, sheds light on a major challenge in the ETF market—misclassification. Dhruv's journey from health tech and venture capital into finance revealed a common issue: many investors unknowingly hold ETFs that don’t align with their intended sectors. This misalignment can quietly undermine financial goals. Driven by a mission to fix this, Dhruv and his team are pioneering new ETF structures that offer clearer, more accurate sector targeting—empowering investors to make informed decisions that truly match their strategies.

Dhruv also emphasizes the rising importance of active management in ETFs. While passive strategies are popular for broad market exposure, they often fall short for those seeking targeted, thematic investments. With technology and artificial intelligence rapidly reshaping financial markets, active management offers a more flexible approach—one that adjusts to market shifts in real time and continuously optimizes holdings for risk and return. As investors increasingly demand solutions that align with both their values and growth goals, this agile strategy is proving to be a valuable tool for navigating an unpredictable market.

Looking ahead, Dhruv sees ETFs evolving alongside advancements in technology and investment strategies. Health tech is one sector where Langar Holdings is making strides, leveraging AI and data analytics to drive innovation. This forward-thinking approach reflects a larger industry trend—one where transparency, precision, and smarter financial products are becoming essential. Dhruv's insights offer a compelling roadmap for investors looking to move beyond the basics, demonstrating how innovative ETF strategies can unlock new growth opportunities while ensuring investments stay aligned with their financial goals.
