ETF Industry KPI – 11/7/2022

Week of October 31, 2022 KPI Summary

• This week, the industry experienced 13 ETF launches and 7 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 3.29 and total US ETFs to 3,065.
• Yesterday’s end of Daylight Savings time gave us an extra hour to “Fall back” asleep. Let’s take a look at funds that have certainly fallen back in assets since March 13th, 2022 (Spring Daylight Savings).
  • The three funds (minimum $100 Million in assets) having the worst drawback in this period (3/13/22 – 11/6/22) are:
    • First Trust Consumer Discretionary AlphaDEX Fund (FXD) down -80.95%
    • iShares Interest Rate Hedged Long-Term Corp Bond (IGBH) down -77.79%
    • ProShares Online Retail ETF (ONLN) down -74.64%
    • The index sub-type that is featured the most at the top of this list is Exposure ETFs with it labeling 34 of the top 50
  • The three funds (minimum $1 Billion in assets) having the worst drawback in this period are:
    • JPMorgan BetaBuilders Europe ETF (BBEU) down -62.28%
    • First Trust NASDAQ-100-Tech Sector ETF (QTEC) down -56.57%
    • iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF (EWT) down -54.61%

    • Schwab US TIPS ETF (SCHP) down -32.99%
    • Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) down -30.71%
• One thing we learned while searching through these ETFs that “Fell Back” like the clock yesterday is that as much as there are correlations amongst these funds, there is plenty of diversity. Atop the lists are both Equity and Fixed income funds, all 4 geographical categories, Non-Traditional and Traditional funds, multiple sectors, and several different index attributes. This year’s drawback has taken no prisoners. 
• The tracked indexes had similar experiences in the past week. The Toroso ETF Industry Index was down -0.52% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index trailed at -0.76%.
