As U.S. ETFs Approach $2 trillion In Assets, Here’s What That Means

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: As U.S.-listed ETFs approach $2 trillion in assets, you may wonder how much the current bull market has been aided by the rush into these trendy index-tracking funds.
The answer is not much, argues Convergex’s Nick Colas, even as exchange-traded funds have reached an estimated $1.987 trillion in assets. ETFs aren’t responsible for pushing U.S. stocks to new highs, as they’re still a relatively small force and largely just grabbing money that would have gone into mutual funds, he wrote in a Tuesday note.
Regards,
Ted
