Will Hershey is the co-founder and President of Roundhill Investments. He started in the energy space, but luckily moved into eSports and gaming before the energy crash of 2020. Roundhill is an RIA creating thematic ETFs on market-altering trends. Will and I spend an hour discussing what it's like to start an ETF, why Roundhill chose esports and sports betting as thematics and the power of being a thematic expert.

Specifically we dive into the the shift in the indexing business and why weighting by theme (not market cap) is important.

At Macro Ops, we're extremely interested in eSports and gaming. In fact, its one of our core thematics over the next 5-10 years. We're always searching for new investment ideas in this space, and Will's ETF offers the perfect springboard.
