This chart shows that assets invested in active ETFs globally jumped by 30.% during the first six months of 2017.
All told, 65.5% of the gains were in U.S. products — and 72.9% of assets were in fixed income.
Why the big gain? Investors are responding to increased political risk in the form of the Trump administration, Brexit, and North Korea according to Deborah Fuhr, ETFGI’s managing partner.
