Week of December 19, 2022 KPI Summary
Ryan Fitzgerald- This week, the industry experienced 7 ETF launches and 7 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 3.01 and total US ETFs to 3,091.
- We are in the final week of 2022, the purgatory time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. With the next few KPI articles focusing on the 4th quarter and 2022 full-year data, let’s take a look at December’s standout KPI figures in the ETF landscape (comparing 11/27/22 to 12/26/22).
- Total assets decreased -2.86%, there was an increase of 19 ETFs to total US ETF count (3,091), and +5 additional issuers by brand.
- From our 11 asset class categories, Commodities Physical increased the most (3.49%) with Allocation next (1.28%). Currency had the worst performance again (-12.02%) with Commodities Derivative as second worst (-11.74%). The two largest asset classes of Equity (76.02% of assets) and Fixed Income (19.36%) performed -3.77% and 0.57% respectively.
- Currency and Commodities Derivatives were the two worst performing categories in November as well.
- ETF expense ratio 12-month revenue decreased from $11.34 Billion to $11.01 Billion.
- Revenue from Active ETFs dropped from 11.99% to 12.17% of total revenue.
- The top performing ETF by far over the last month was KOLD (ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas) surging 103.3%. The top performing ETF that is over one billion dollars in assets over the previous month has been SOXS (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X ETF) rising 22.7%.
- December was a mediocre month for the ETF industry. It ranks 7th best in asset performance, T-4th in issuer increase, and 8th in total number of ETFs added. In the November wrap-up, we were speculative of three great months in a row. December didn’t impress, but it will still leave the 4th quarter as the best of 2022 in several categories. As a reminder, these figures do not take into account the full week left of December, which would alter the full month’s outlook.
- The tracked indexes had similar experiences in December. The Toroso ETF Industry Index was down -3.43% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index trailed at -5.03%.
