Week of July 18, 2022 KPI Summary
- This week, the industry experienced zero ETF launches and 3 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 4.10 and total US ETFs to 2,977.
- Let’s take a ten-thousand-foot view at the industry as a whole and how the “average ETF” really stacks up in today’s ETF universe.
- In the ETF universe, there are now 2,977 funds with Equity and Fixed Income making up over 76% of the total. Additionally, of the approximate $6.4 Trillion in assets, Equity and Fixed Income funds constitute 95.1% of assets.
- When we break this down even more, the average AUM of an ETF today is $2.15 Billion. Surprisingly, the highest average AUM per fund in our categories is Commodities Physical with an average of $5.15 Billion AUM per fund, and Equity funds in a distant second place ($2.74 Billion). For context, Commodities Physical has ~$108 Billion across 21 funds.
- Of the current top 100 ETFs based on AUM, 69 are Equity, 27 are Fixed Income, 2 are Commodities Physical, 1 is Preferred Stock, and the final one is Geared/Swaps.
- Although the average fund has $2.15 Billion AUM, the mean is a $100 Million fund since the industry is quite top heavy. In fact, a $2.15 Billion fund would rank 360th of the 2,977 funds.
- Both indexes experienced minimal change last week. The Toroso ETF Industry Index was up 3.97% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index trailed at 2.91%.
