Global actively managed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reached a new milestone in June, with assets climbing to a record $1.5 trillion. This surge was fueled by $46.8 billion in monthly inflows, bringing year-to-date flows to an unprecedented $267 billion, as reported by ETFGI. The 26.7% increase in assets from the end of 2024 reflects investor appetite for professional management amid economic uncertainty, with the industry seeing 63 consecutive months of net inflows.
Actively managed ETFs now represent a larger share of the overall ETF ecosystem, with 3,805 ETFs from 573 providers listed on 42 exchanges across 33 countries. Equity-focused active ETFs led the way in June, attracting $24.7 billion in net inflows, while fixed-income active ETFs saw $20.5 billion in inflows during the same period.
The top 20 active ETFs by net new assets collectively gathered $19.7 billion in June, with JPMorgan products dominating the rankings. The JPMorgan Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (JMTG) led the pack with $5.8 billion in inflows, followed by the JPMorgan Active High Yield ETF (JPHY) and the Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares (TSLL).
Market performance played a significant role in driving these inflows, with the S&P 500 rising 5.1% in June and developed markets outside the U.S. seeing gains of 3.2%. The record-breaking year-to-date inflows of $267 billion exceeded previous annual records, showcasing growing investor confidence in active management strategies within the ETF structure.
Overall, the growth of actively managed ETFs highlights the increasing popularity of these investment vehicles among investors seeking professional management and market exposure. With assets reaching new highs and inflows continuing to surge, the active ETF industry is poised for further growth and development in the months ahead.
