FYI: In 2016, demand for ETFs ran the gamut from everything from gold to fixed income to emerging market equities to U.S. stocks at some point during the year. ETF issuers faced creations—and sizable redemptions—throughout the year in various funds.
Now, as 2016 nears the end, it’s interesting to see which ETF issuers gained the most, and which ones lost serious ground. The top three providers—iShares, Vanguard and State Street Global Advisors—each saw asset growth and maintained their lead; no surprises here.
