Record Inflows into ETFs

The market has witnessed unprecedented inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with nearly $921 billion entering the market this year, surpassing the previous record set in 2021. This significant influx has sparked discussions about the sources of this capital, suggesting it may not solely stem from mutual fund conversions, but rather from a general appetite for the benefits ETFs offer. Investors are increasingly attracted to the liquidity, transparency, and tax efficiency associated with these structures. The growth trajectory of ETFs, including over $14 trillion in assets globally, indicates that the trend is not just limited to the United States, with international markets growing even faster.
