ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are emerging as extremely popular investments.
The funds are designed to track a specific set of stocks, commodity or another group of assets. The idea is that investors can diversify their portfolios by simply investing in a single fund, rather than each of the individual assets the fund invests in.
Investors have been pouring money into ETFs recently, sometimes billions of dollars a week.
The combined investment in ETFs was recently measured at $2.7 trillion. As of February 2, passive investments like ETFs and index funds accounted for 28.5% of assets under management in the US. That share is expected to grow to more than 50% by 2024 at the latest, according to a Moody’s forecast.
ETFs are not just popular for small and individual investors, as hedge funds are big investors in the funds as well, according to a report by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The report, authored by Jue Xiong and Stephen Suttmeier, ranked 25 exchange-traded funds owned by hedge funds by the size of the investment by hedge funds in the ETFs. The ETFs cover everything from equity markets to gold.
