Week of February 27, 2023 KPI Summary

Ryan Fitzgerald

  • This week, the industry experienced 6 ETF launches and 9 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.39 and total US ETFs to 3,117.
  • Predicted 12-Month Revenue from Active, Traditional, and Non-Traditional ETFs is a KPI the ETF Think Tank has been tracking for over 4 years. On 3/4/2019, the breakdown looked as follows:
Traditional Index$428,908,257,80257.51%
Non-Traditional Index$278,599,274,55337.36%
Active$38,267,341,6495.13%
Total$745,774,874,004
  • Traditional ETFs dominated revenue with Active ETFs being just a sliver of the market.
  • Just a year ago (3/6/2022), the chart looked very different:
Traditional Index$545,862,135,95546.08%
Non-Traditional Index$509,368,406,80243.00%
Active$129,278,420,73910.91%
Total$1,184,508,963,497
  • Not only did Non-Traditional nearly overtake Traditional Index ETFs, but Active doubled its predicted revenue percentage of the industry and more than tripled the actual revenue total.
  • Today, Non-Traditional has finally overtaken Traditional over the last few weeks and Active continues to grow as well:
Traditional Index$497,673,299,45943.16%
Non-Traditional Index$505,238,807,73343.82%
Active$150,182,647,08013.02%
Total$1,153,094,754,273
  • Active management continues to grow its influence and revenues in the ETF industry as investor’s preferences potentially shift from little to no cost cookie-cutter ETFs to actively managed, higher-expense funds.
  • The highlighted indexes experienced similar performance last week. The Toroso ETF Industry Index was up 0.66% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index led at 0.88%.
