iShares and the Godfather of ETFs Win Big

It's a big week for the iShares team at BlackRock, for the man known as the "Godfather of ETFs," and for the folks at 21 other firms (including more than a dozen fund firms).

Yesterday CBOE's ETF.com team revealed the winners of their 2019 ETF.com Awards. (This was their seventh annual batch of awards, and it's the first year when the awards weren't revealed first at a celebratory dinner in the Big Apple.)

Like last year, the BlackRock folks won five ETF.com awards, again more than any other firm. Three of those awards were for a single ETF: the iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF (SUSL). Meanwhile, Reggie Browne, principal at GTS (an ETF market maker), won the lifetime achievement award, the only individual award in the lot.

The multiple-award winners were Toroso and its Tidal ETF Services arm, which won three awards, and Alpha Architect, which won two.

The other winning ETF shops included: American Century's Avantis, Ark, Barclays, CICC, Rafferty's Direxion, Mirae's Global X, GraniteShares, Innovator, ProShares, Roundhill, Strategy Shares, VanEck, and Vanguard.

Other winners included: Charles Schwab (as a brokerage and platform), ETF strategist CLS Investments, liquidity provider Jane Street, law firm Morgan Lewis and Bockius, index provider Solactive, and custodian U.S. Bank.
