President and CEO
EVOLVE ETFs
After another stellar year for Evolve’s innovation ETFs, president and CEO Raj Lala returns to the WP Hot List. Evolve has launched many Canadian firsts over the years, including funds specializing in cybersecurity, automobile innovation and video gaming. Earlier this year, the company marked another Canadian first with the launch of its cloud computing ETF (DATA). Evolve also joined the fray in offering a Bitcoin ETF (EBIT), which debuted in February.
All of Evolve’s disruptive innovation ETFs were top performers in 2020, as well as longer-term – many fall in the first percentile of performance for the three years-plus category. The positive performance of its suite of thematic ETFs helped Evolve hit the noteworthy milestone of $1 billion in AUM in 2020.
