Hanley told Bloomberg that Johnson is leading Fido's efforts to boost fee revenues via a service by which advisers build client customized portfolios consisting of mutual funds, ETFs and other investment products. Johnson, Hanley says, is also driving Fido's push into ETFs (i.e. Fido has recently filed to launch more actively-managed ETFs and will also offer Fidelity-branded funds in collaboration with BlackRock).
