FYI: Exchange-traded funds have been one of the hottest commodities in the money-management industry for a while now.
But 2015 underscored with a think, red line how much demand is growing for generally lower-cost ETFs that can be
bought and sold intraday. Investors had pumped $206 billion into all U.S.-listed ETFs though November, according to Morningstar. Over the same time, the inflow into all U.S.-based mutual funds was $28 billion, on pace to be the lowest since the turbulence of 2008, (when investors pulled out $152 billion from all mutual funds).
