FYI: Assets in U.S.-listed ETFs have grown about 26% in the past year. At about $2.75 trillion in total ETF assets today, the industry continues to see a relatively consistent pace of asset growth—and one that is outpacing most other financial market segments.
That’s not news. But there are a few interesting points behind that number. First, the obvious: Roughly 82% of all U.S.-listed ETF assets is managed by three single ETF issuers—BlackRock’s iShares, Vanguard and State Street Global Advisors.
One year ago, these three firms also commanded about 82% of the market. Their dominance is clear, consistent and, apparently, unwavering.
