Selecting which fund to invest your hard-earned money into can be daunting but knowing a fund’s AUM is a huge step in the right direction
Although their assets are in the same ballpark, ETFs with relatively high AUMs are very different from each other in terms management and performance. Some focus in on one sector while others diversify heavily. There are also funds with similar companies in their portfolio but assign distinctly different weights to the holdings.
This list highlights exchange-traded funds with assets under management that are 10 million dollars or higher. All the data collected was from Bloomberg, ETF.com, and Yahoo Finance between December 31, 2019 and January 10, 2020.
