Week of June 19, 2023 KPI Summary
Ryan Fitzgerald- This week, the industry experienced 8 ETF launches and 3 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.12 and total US ETFs to 3,185.
- Schools are out and summer has begun in the U.S once again. Many Americans will take a vacation during the summer months, so let’s look at the 5 non-leverage Travel and Leisure ETFs. This topic is an update from a previous KPI article on 6/27/2022.
- The category has $571 Million across the 5 funds, with a large majority ($400 Million) in Invesco’s PEJ which was launched in 2005. The remaining 4 funds (AWAY, BEDZ, CRUZ, JRNY) are all from different Issuers and have been launched in the last 3.5 years.
- Last year at this time, the category constituted $1.39 Billion with PEJ managing $1.1 Billion. Additionally, it was made up of 6 funds, the extra one SonicShares Airlines, Hotels, Cruise Lines ETF (TRYP) closed in July 2022.
- Although the category is down 58% from this time last year, the funds are up 12% YTD on average in AUM. Defiance Hotel Airline and Cruise ETF (CRUZ) leads the pack at +25.3% YTD and +17.3% over 3-months.
- The average expense ratio of the category shifted from 69 bps to 67.8 bps.
- The category has $571 Million across the 5 funds, with a large majority ($400 Million) in Invesco’s PEJ which was launched in 2005. The remaining 4 funds (AWAY, BEDZ, CRUZ, JRNY) are all from different Issuers and have been launched in the last 3.5 years.
- While Summer 2022 still had families tepid on travelling with Covid lingering, this summer will finally feel like Covid is a thing of the past for most. PEJ and CRUZ are hoping that to be true because they’ve been pummeled -63% and -49% respectively since our last report on Travel and Leisure ETFs one year ago. The third largest of the category, CRUZ, rose 13% during that time alternatively.
- Both indexes experienced a large decrease week. Toroso ETF Industry Index was down -3.27% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index led at -2.02%.
