The ETF Graveyard Overview

This year has seen a significant number of ETF liquidations, with around 150 closures marking it as the third largest year for such events. This trend highlights the disparity between ETF launches and liquidations, indicating that while the market has largely thrived, many funds are struggling to attract investors. The performance of various asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and commodities like gold and Bitcoin, suggests that only those ETFs that can stand out are likely to sustain their presence in the market. Consequently, funds that fail to meet investor expectations or those that operate in oversaturated segments are often the first to be eliminated.
