ETF Industry KPI – 10/16/2023

Week of October 9, 2023 KPI Summary

Ryan Fitzgerald

  • This week, the industry experienced 4 ETF launches and 3 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.14 and total US ETFs to 3,304.
  • Every week, we write this KPI piece to discuss weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly updates to our evolving ETF industry. To see where we are going, we need to take a bigger step back to appreciate the progress we have made in a relatively short amount of time and to judge its ultimate trajectory. Therefore, let’s compare our ETF KPIs to January 18, 2021: 1,000 days ago.
    • Total US ETF Assets have increased 28.9% ($1.61 Tn), from $5.58 Tn to $7.19 Tn.
    • Total US ETF count has increased 41.9% (+976), from 2,328 to 3,304.
    • Total Issuer count increased from 170 to 298 (+128), which is just under 1 new issuer per week.
    • The Average Weighted Expense ratio of all US ETFs dropped from 18 bps to 15.9 bps.
    • The predicted revenue from Active Management ETFs increased from 8.7% to 14.9%.
    • Both NYSE and Nasdaq conceded some market share in terms of listings to CBOE who increased from 17.9% to 19.5% of all ETF listings.
    • Lastly, the Open-to-Close ratio was 0.99 approximately 1,000 days ago compared to 2.14 today. In that time, there have been well over 1,000 ETF launches and the Open-to-Close ratio peaked in the mid-fives and has trickled back down to around 2.
  • As we focus on the day-to-day, it is vital to recognize the trends of the past 1,000 days to predict where we will be in the next 1,000 on Sunday, July 2026.
  • The tracked indexes experienced different performances in the last 1,000 days. The Toroso ETF Industry Index is up 6.3% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index led at 13.4%.
