Ben Phillips, Chief Investment Officer at EventShares, a financial firm that creates ETFs based on political and other events, discusses the company's latest fund focused on the tax reform bill.
For each ETF, EventShares chooses stocks that stand to benefit based on the policies put forth by each party. The tax reform ETF functions the same way. Phillips adds that EventShares has the ability to re-balance the ETF as needed, based on the conversation coming out of Washington.
We talk about how the reform bill will impact indexes as a whole, but Phillips adds that he does not think that investing in specific indices is the way to go. He believes that investors can profit the most off of tax reform through an ETF with carefully curated companies.

Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
