  • After coming off 3 months of decreasing assets, November ended that trend abruptly with Equity ETFs having a historic monthly performance (data comparing 10/29/23-12/3/23).
    • Total assets increased 11.4%, there was an increase of 31 ETFs to total US ETF count (3,353), and 4 additional issuers by brand.
      • This is the largest monthly increase in total assets by far in over 2 years.
    • From our 11 asset class categories, Geared/Swaps increased the most (17.8%) with Equity next (12.8%). Volatility had the worst performance (-13.8%) with Managed Futures at second worst (-11.7%). The two largest asset classes of Equity (76.2% of assets) and Fixed Income (18.6%) soared 12.8%, as mentioned above, and 5.7% respectively.
      • After 3 consecutive months with Geared/Swaps in the bottom two performing categories, it moves to #1. On the other hand, Volatility is dead last after coming off consecutive months in the top 2.
    • The ETF expense ratio annual revenue increased from $11.1 Bn to $12.3 Bn.
