Daniel Gamba, Co-President and Chief Commercial Officer at Franklin Resources, spoke at the Funds Forum 2026 conference in Mexico, where he discussed the growth of the Mexican investment fund industry, noting that assets reached 5 trillion and accounts totaled 17 million. He credited collaboration between public and private sectors for the market's expansion, which he said had doubled funds in five years, and he projected continued growth, setting a goal of 10 trillion in the near term. Gamba also addressed trends in investment vehicles, stating that the rise of active ETFs has made the choice between ETFs and mutual funds a vehicle decision rather than one between active and passive management. He noted that active ETFs are gaining popularity in Europe despite lacking the tax advantages seen in the United States, citing transparency as a key driver. Additionally, he discussed tokenization efforts, mentioning Franklin Templeton's Benji product, which the SEC required to operate parallel on-chain and off-chain processes, and he said the firm is committed to working with Mexican authorities and the stock exchange to develop a tokenization market in Mexico.
