The decision to support financial Twitter was an easy one. Some of the top minds, experts, and influencers gather on #FinTwit. Plus, we love how Twitter helps with markets, teambuilding, networking and giving back — all things we want to support at ETF Trends.
To kick off #ETFintwit, or our support of the FinTwit community, we created a list of the top 50 accounts on financial Twitter. We looked for influential members of the FinTwit community, and while we only looked at accounts with at least 1,000 followers, we looked at so much more than follower count. We sought people who use FinTwit in a meaningful way, whether that’s to help them do their job or to give back.
Look at the first 25 names we released , and you’ll notice that we didn’t just look for ETF experts. Rather, we tapped advisors, personal finance gurus, analysts, journalists, asset managers and more. Think of it like an index fund of FinTwit.
Before we get to the final 25 names, we want to remind you that #ETFintwit doesn’t stop here. We’ll be finding new and exciting ways to support the community, including sponsored real-life meetups. The first one will take place at Exchange: An ETF Experience , where you’re invited to join many members of this list to help take our Twitter community to the next level.
And now, the second half of our inaugural #ETFintwit #Top50 …
