FYI: The past week was so quiet in the ETF space that we are looking at the past two weeks for ETF Week.
In all, the first quarter of 2019 has been heavy on closures and rather muted when it comes to launches.
A rather stunning 42 ETFs have closed in the first quarter, which is about double the number of closures we usually see in the first quarter of any year. Meanwhile, 55 funds have launched during the first three months of 2019, which pales next to the 80 that rolled out in the first quarter of 2018, but is well in line with prior years.
