Week of March 20, 2023 KPI Summary
Ryan Fitzgerald- This week, the industry experienced 8 ETF launches and 1 closure, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.38 and total US ETFs to 3,131.
- This past week was a mild one for the ETF industry with 0.9% change in assets and a small uptick in the amount of total funds. Meanwhile, for the American sport’s fans, the Men’s NCAA basketball tournament known as March Madness has certainly lived up to its name. For the first time, no “#1 seeds” made the Elite 8 and for the first time no 1, 2, or 3 seeds are present in the Final 4, which will be taking place this upcoming weekend.
- For a fun comparison, let’s compare the basketball teams remaining using their NCAA ranking to the top ETF issuers by AUM and see if you can predict the March Madness winner!
- UConn (11) is the top ranked team remaining, and their comparison, the #11 Issuer by Assets, is VanEck with approximately $55.3 Billion and 68 funds.
- Miami University (14) will be taking on UConn on Saturday. The #14 Issuer is Goldman Sachs with $28.1 Billion and 33 funds. Though smaller, Goldman’s average weighted expense ratio is 15.8 compared to 52.3 for VanEck.
- On the other side of the bracket, San Diego State (20) is compared to #20 Xtrackers with $19.0 Billion and 38 funds.
- Its competitor will be this year’s major underdog, Florida Atlantic University (27) which is represented by Capital Group with $7.7 Billion in only 9 funds. Though smaller, the AUM per fund is much higher than Xtrackers.
- Let’s see which representative from our ETF Industry can win it all – Let us know your predictions!
- The highlighted indexes experienced similar performance last week. The Toroso ETF Industry Index was up 0.80% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index trailed at 0.58%.
