The EU PFOF ban: what payment-for-order-flow rules changed for your ETF trades (2026) – practical guide by Kestutis Balciunas.
News & Updates
What changed this quarter for European ETF investors, minus the noise. New fund launches worth noticing, TER cuts and price wars between providers, regulatory shifts — PFOF bans, SFDR labels, MiFID reviews — and flows data that says what investors are actually doing rather than saying. Each item is framed the same way: what changed, who it affects, and whether a long-term UCITS investor needs to act (usually not, and we say so). This archive is deliberately small; the evergreen guides it links to carry the durable analysis, while these posts date-stamp the moments the landscape moved.
