Week of February 20, 2023 KPI Summary

Ryan Fitzgerald

  • This week, the industry experienced 7 ETF launches and 8 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.47 and total US ETFs to 3,120.
  • After a fantastic month for the ETF industry in January, February experienced a downturn in assets. As a result, today’s blog will touch on February’s KPI review (comparing 1/30/23 to 2/27/23).
    • Total assets decreased -2.6%, there was an increase of 18 ETFs to total US ETF count (3,120), and 0 additional issuers by brand.
    • Despite a decent drop in assets, the ETF expense ratio annual revenue only dropped from $11.64 Bn to $11.50 Bn.
    • Revenue from Active Management took a jump from 12.2% to 12.9% in the 4 weeks.
    • The open-to-close ratio dropped from 2.77 to 2.47. It hasn’t been this low since August 2021.
  • Even though February was mediocre for assets, the industry is still looking good in 2023 with January’s surge. We’ll see how the industry can bounce back in March, which it typically does. For example, 2022 only had back-to-back negative performing months once (August and September).
  • The tracked indexes had similar experiences in February. The Toroso ETF Industry Index was down -1.02% while the S&P Financial Select Sector Index led at -0.32%.
