The number of US-listed exchange traded products (ETPs) grew by nine in July, a slower pace than the increase of 13 in the prior month. The total value of shares traded declined -10.3% to $1.346 trillion from $1.5 trillion in June. August often has the lightest volume of the year, so the total traded value is likely to drop again in our next report.
July brought the introduction of 10 new ETFs, while just one was shuttered. The total number of listed products at the end of July stood at 852 (768 ETFs and 84 ETNs), seven more than where we started the year.
