The following table lists the top 100 most heavily traded exchange-traded products, highlighting the funds
that will generally be the most liquid. Generally, ETFs with the highest average volume are used widely as
trading vehicles among active traders. The figures below reflect the average daily trading volume for each
ETF over the previous three month period; this metric is less susceptible to daily fluctuations than is
the normal daily volume metric. The following table also includes the assets under management for each of
these ETF, in thousands of U.S. dollars. These figures are updated daily; numbers will not reflect intraday
activity.
