Week of January 16, 2023 KPI Summary
Ryan Fitzgerald- This week, the industry experienced 6 ETF launches and 2 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.87 and total US ETFs to 3,102.
- Happy Monday to our ETF Think Tank members, ETF Nerds, and our wonderful ETF Industry, which is celebrating its 30th Birthday today! On January 22, 1993, SPY was seeded with $6.5 million, and a LOT has happened since then. Today, we want to shout out some other recent milestones of the ETF Industry that may have otherwise been overlooked or forgotten.
- The total US ETF count is over 3,100 for the first time. The 3,000 ETF milestone was reached on August 29, 2022, and 2,900 ETFs attained on April 4, 2022. Incredibly, August 29 is 147 days ago, and April 4 is exactly 147 days before that – pretty wild! With that trend, the 3,200 milestone should be reached on Monday June 19, 2023. Mark your calendars.
- The 12-month Open-to-close ratio is currently 2.87. In 2020, the ratio hovered around 1:1, then rose high into the fives by early 2022. The pendulum has swung back to the middle, and it has not been around this ratio (2.87) since October 3, 2021, almost 16 months ago.
- Since the industry is 30 years old today, let’s see how our indexes compare since their inceptions. Since inception, the Toroso ETF Industry Index is up 13.88% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index trails at 9.32%.
