ETFs under scrutiny: is criticism of the index funds justified?

ETFs are under consistent criticism. In volatile times, they are blamed for accelerating price developments and harbouring liquidity risks. In addition, the fund companies have been repeatedly accused of using their power in "proxy voting". What exactly are these accusations based on? We invite you to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this successful product group with our guests.
