We are averaging 10 new ETF launches a week. Almost 80 new funds have come to market so far, at that pace it would mean more than 500 new ETF launches this year – which would be a new record. There are currently more than 250 ETF issuers.
ETF Newz Says:
Thematic ETFs continue to rule the roost in terms of growth. Much of this to appeal to the growth of the retail investor.
