Context before conclusions

What a fund count can hide

Returns are medians, with leveraged and inverse products excluded where noted. These signals describe the market; they do not rank funds for your circumstances.

Assets cluster around a few issuers

93%

of reported assets sit with the 10 largest issuers, out of 380.

  • Vanguard$6.56T · 89 funds
  • iShares$3.18T · 447 funds
  • SPDR State Street Global Advisors$1.47T · 141 funds
  • Invesco$611.4B · 228 funds
  • Schwab ETFs$406.9B · 33 funds

The median fund is not the median dollar

Asset-weighted 3Y return is 11.79% against 7.59% equal-weighted. The former reflects where the assets sat; neither is a forecast.

Some funds are hard to trade cheaply

46%

fall below the $50M asset or 10,000-share volume cutoffs in this snapshot; missing values are counted below the cutoffs too. Low liquidity can make spreads matter alongside the stated fee.
