Updates on how dynamic, risk-managed investment solutions are performing in the current market environment.
In November, 30 exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) were added to the ETF Deathwatch list and nine were removed, bringing the total to 348.
Eight products were removed due to improved health and one was delisted.
All but one of the additions for the month were due to low trading volume. The low volume in these products could be due to the nature of their investment product. The other addition was due to low assets under management (“AUM”). These ETPs may have enough AUM to keep them from closure. However, our system takes into account both AUM and volume. If both remain low, these funds may be considered for closure.
Forty-four ETPs on Deathwatch this month have been in the market for at least 10 years, including many short ETPs.
The average asset level of the threatened ETPs on ETF Deathwatch decreased from $10.0 million to $9.76 million, and 21 products had less than $2 million in assets. The average age of products on the list decreased from 52.2 months to 50.17 months. The number of products at least 5 years of age increased from 101 to 104. The largest ETP on the list had an AUM of $24.95 million, while the smallest had assets of just $685,760.
