That demand hasn t gone away, Armando Senra, BlackRock s head of iShares Americas, told CNBC s ETF Edge in an interview Monday. You may have a little bit of a pullback in performance, but we continue to see the flows into offerings such as the iShares U.S. Infrastructure ETF (IFRA) and the iShares Self-Driving EV and Tech ETF (IDRV), he said. We re not just chasing one-year themes. We re looking for 10-year themes, Senra said, calling thematic investing a long-term growth story for us and for the industry.
While high-growth tech trades may take a back seat to value-based investments as the economic reopening gets underway, themes do have staying power, Salvatore Bruno, chief investment officer of IndexIQ, said in the same ETF Edge interview.

ETF Wrap: Have a heart, and Bezos in an ETF MarketWatch 2/5/2021
What just happened?
Welcome to the first ETF Wrap in months that doesn’t have existential dread as its guiding principle.
There was plenty of news, of course Jeff Bezos stepped down to spend more time with his money, New Yorkers got hit with snow and demanded everyone else hear about every single flake, and Italy is going to do “whatever it takes” by summoning “Super Mario” to lead it out of political and economic crisis.
But that was all refreshingly normal 2019ish, you might say.
