The new Trump administration combined with a Republican-controlled House and Senate could usher in the most significant regulatory changes to the ETF industry since 1990. That year, the Republican-led U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted exemptive relief that gave birth to the ETF, one of the most consequential and innovative financial products in history.
