FYI: U.S. asset managers continued to launch new exchange-traded products in the first half of 2019, seeking to gain a growing slice of the $4 trillion-and-counting pie.
The 130 new offerings tracked by First Bridge, a recently acquired CFRA business, are only slightly below the pace of new ETFs and ETNs that came to market in 2018.
Yet there’s been a notable shift in which firms have expanded their lineups this year, with the top five firms acting passively after actively expanding their offerings last year.
