Ryan Fitzgerald- This week, the industry experienced 3 ETF launches and 3 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.36 and total US ETFs to 3,124.
- Today is the first day of Spring so Happy Spring everyone! The 2023 Winter weather for much of the US was mild compared to previous years, but let’s see how the ETF industry fared (data comparing 12/18/2022 to 3/19/2023)
- 1.0% increase in total US ETFs (+33), and a 1.4% increase in total assets (approximately $91 Bn).
- From our 11 asset class categories, Commodities Physical increased the most (8.0%) and Volatility had the largest drop (-24.7%). The two largest asset classes of Equity (75.5% of assets) and Fixed Income (19.8%) both elevated 0.8% and 3.1% respectively.
- No change in ETF expense ratio 12-month revenue.
- Revenue from Active ETFs shot up from 12.1% to 13.2%.

- Winter 2023 turned out to be mild with assets, just like the weather. We have also seen the continued trend of more closures and fewer new issuers coming into the space. On the bright side, innovation is still coming from current issuers and assets are stabilizing on an upward trajectory.
