The @ExchangiFi team was at Basis Northwest, 1st ever taxable wealth conference hosted by @TaxAlphaInsider. Tax talk, strategy deep dives, and serious nerding out. Great to see @DaveNadig of @etfcom and so many others. Huge congrats to Brent on the success.

In this @FT Unhedged interview, I’m sometimes joking, but not really, about the less you know, the more you make. Until AI anyway... https://t.co/O4X5HmnI9k

Leveraged Long/Short Tax Alpha Is a Hotel California

The tax problem, ironically, is specifically with the leveraged long/short version, the newer, sexier, more sophisticated cousin, that does not work when investors want out.

I joined @BlackwaterSe Michael O'Riordan on Exchange Traded People to talk about 351 exchanges, the capital sourcing problem in ETF launches, and building in financial services.

Some of the #ETF Industry's biggest problems are still being solved by spreadsheets and phone calls.

In this episode of Exchange Traded People, Michael O’Riordan @BlackwaterSe is joined by @Matt_Bucklin founder of @ExchangiFi, one of the more unconventional figures in the ETF space.

A 2025 study out of M.I.T. cautioned that “the integration of LLMs into learning environments may inadvertently contribute to cognitive atrophy.” This danger hasn’t slowed the advancement of A.I. in schools. https://t.co/nPxSO7Hdcb

5-MeO-DMT gave me a single idea that won't leave.

Our minds are not naturally capable of understanding the preciousness of our existence.

Not "life is precious" as printed on a poster. It's something much more specific. That the hardware we're running, human consciousness, cannot render the full resolution of what it means to be here. Like a 480p screen trying to display an 8K image. The information is there but the display can't hold it.

It's been 3 weeks and I still feel childlike and fresh. My mind feels free of the accumulated barnacle. My dreams are alive.

The brain data is now coming in and it matches my reported subjective experiences. I'm excited to share it with you.

But the data doesn't complete the picture. The feeling is that I found a home I didn't know I was looking for and I don't have a biomarker for that.

[Matt Bucklin @Matt_Bucklin]

The best marketing strategy in the ETF business - get some #SpaceX shares and watch the money pour in.

But getting shares can be difficult. 351 exchange and have them at inception of the fund.

Thanks @TaxAlphaInsider for a quote.

Great segment by @robtfrank. AUM growth is flowing fastest to independent RIAs, driven by their breadth of services. https://t.co/gYFOIzuXn1

[ExchangiFi @ExchangiFi]

I'm joining Polen Capital and Practus tax attorney Ray Holst on 4/9 for an @RIAChannel webinar, to answer questions #RIAs have about Section 351 exchanges — and demo how @ExchangiFi makes the process simple for advisors.

Introducing https://t.co/OG32ejASaG (yep, that's the domain), a database of ETFs seeded in-kind via Section 351 by individuals.

I estimate $12.8 billion of launch AUM going back to 2022 raised across 59 funds.

I also aggregate cost basis data where available, showing that these funds were roughly half embedded capital gains.

This whole project emerged from my (with @elhroz ) paper "Managing Concentrated Public Stock Positions by Seeding an Exchange-Traded Fund."

Elie and I included a database of ETFs in the back, but then folks started sharing more funds.

If you are interested in ETFs coming down the conveyor belt, I’d suggest taking a look at @ExchangiFi. Matthew Bucklin is on top of the latest, whereas my process is a bit slower and backward-looking.

I would like to thank several sources who wished to stay off the record for this analysis and to again thank Elie Rozner for his fantastic work on all elements of the paper.

Check it out... especially the holdings evolution feature.
