HANetf co-CEO Hector McNeil talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about key trends shaping financial markets in 2025. McNeil highlighted the inherent volatility in Bitcoin, which has surged above $100,000, predicting it could reach $150,000 by mid-year as more established investors enter the market. He emphasised the role of ETFs in democratising access to assets like cryptocurrencies.
On gold, McNeil described it as “the best and most reliable insurance asset,” benefiting from geopolitical tensions and inflation. He also discussed HANetf’s currency-hedged gold ETC products, including the Physical Gold GBP Hedged ETC (RMPH), which protects investors from currency fluctuations while maintaining exposure to gold.
The conversation also covered HANetf’s Future of Defence ETF (NATO), which has seen rapid growth amid global political instability. McNeil revealed ongoing discussions about reconstruction efforts in Ukraine and the continued need for defence expenditure worldwide.
Finally, McNeil discussed the ITEK Tech Megatrends ETF, offering exposure to transformative sectors like AI, robotics, and cloud technology while mitigating concentration risks. He suggested investors consider pivoting from large caps to small- and mid-cap stocks for diversified growth in 2025.
