Leo Wealth’s Mironenko Makes the Case for ETF-Heavy Portfolios

ETFs have moved from supporting role to center stage in client portfolios, and Leo Wealth’s Aleksey Mironenko says the shift now shapes how he invests.

Speaking on Bloomberg ETF IQ Asia, Mironenko, Leo Wealth’s Global Head of Investment Solutions, outlined how he selects exchange-traded funds to match client needs. Reports indicate ETFs make up about 60% of his portfolios, a figure that underscores how deeply the vehicles now anchor wealth management strategy rather than simply complement it.

“ETFs make up about 60% of his portfolios,” according to the Bloomberg summary of Mironenko’s remarks.

The signal here reaches beyond one adviser’s asset mix. When a global investment executive leans this heavily on ETFs, it points to a broader preference for tools that can package exposure efficiently across markets and strategies. The Bloomberg appearance suggests Mironenko focuses less on chasing product trends and more on fitting ETF choices to the specific demands of clients.

That emphasis matters in a market crowded with investment products and sharp claims. Investors often hear about ETFs as low-cost, flexible tools, but Mironenko’s comments, as summarized by Bloomberg, frame them as a core portfolio-building instrument. The real story lies in the selection process: not whether ETFs matter, but how advisers decide which ones deserve a large share of client capital.

What comes next will likely hinge on whether more wealth managers adopt the same conviction. If ETF allocations continue to rise in professionally managed portfolios, the conversation may shift from basic adoption to standards around screening, fit, and portfolio construction. For clients, that matters because the funds chosen today can shape cost, diversification, and resilience long after the market spotlight moves on.
