FYI: BlackRock has a new prediction: Global ETF assets could grow to $12 trillion in five years, $25 trillion in nine.
The forecast isn’t as bold as it is consistent. Today the ETF market commands about $5 trillion in assets globally, and ETF assets have been growing at an average annual rate of about 20% since the financial crisis.
Assuming the rate of growth stays pretty much the same, that would put total ETF assets at around $12 trillion globally by the end of 2022. BlackRock’s forecast essentially says ETFs should continue to march on in the same steady pace of expansion they’ve been on since 2009.
