Kicking things off, Rosenbluth may be favoring Michigan over Ohio St. this weekend, but he’s much happier covering the things he’s thankful for in the world of ETFs, as noted in his article, Thankful Times in the ETF Industry, which highlights several ETF items certainly worth pointing out. Among those notable things is the fact that ETFs have already gathered $500 billion in assets this year. “Money has consistently been moving out of equity mutual funds, year after year, and into ETFs,” Rosenbluth points out, which has remained the case in 2022. It’s a great sign for sure when considering the flow of things. While it may have been the worst year for bonds in Barclays/Agg history, yet there’s been so much movement into fixed income ETFs as a counter. It’s not a huge surprise on the equity side, which, in turn, tends to bode well for the ETF market. However, seeing fixed income prosper in such a way has been quite the shock. Geraci even goes on to say he’s willing to believe that we will see $1 trillion in inflows, assuming the markets don’t suddenly plummet. Rosenbluth is inclined to agree, given all the room ahead for the ETF industry, let alone the current standing of things. Rosenbluth goes on to note the other things he’s thankful for, such as how well-established asset managers have embraced ETFs and the fact that advisors have been willing to work with lesser-known ETF providers. That latter point has led to success for firms such as Horizon Kinetics with their first fund, the Horizon Kinetics Inflation Beneficiary ETF (INFL B), or iMGP’s alternative products, such as the iMGP DBi Managed Futures ETF (DBMF B+). Many thanks are also given to VettaFi, which Geraci matches by noting, “from my perch, it has been really fun to watch everything at VettaFi this year. It is amazing to see everything come together with the brand. To see the quality of the content now being published and talked about on a daily basis. It has been a lot of fun to watch, and I’m very happy for you.”
