Ryan Fitzgerald- This week, the industry experienced 5 ETF launches and 3 closures, shifting the 1-year Open-to-Close ratio to 2.19 and total US ETFs to 3,136.
- For all my seafood fans out there, Happy National Crawfish Day! Yes, there is a national day for everything it seems. However, this one stood out to us, and inclined us to do a review of food-related ETFs.
- The 10 ETFs selected total $2.9 Billion with a good portion coming from VanEck Agribusiness ETF (MOO), which manages $1.27 Billion currently, and First Trust Nasdaq Food & Beverage ETF (FTXG) with just under one billion ($0.99 B).
- When it comes to returns, AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF (EATZ) led with pack YTD with 9.2% total return. The 10 ETFs average 1.2% TR YTD but are down a collective -10.2% on a 1-year basis.
- These 10 food-related ETFs average 62.4 bps of ER, which is just under the current rate for Active ETFs (66.9 bps). The lowest ER belongs to iShares MSCI Global Agriculture Producers ETF (VEGI) at 39 bps and the most expensive is EATZ at 99 bps.
