Review of 2023: The active ETF market delivers
Published
- Assets under management (AUM): Grow from $340 billion to exceed $450 billion by year-end 2023
- Full-year cash flow: Make it three years in a row with over $80 billion
- Mutual fund to ETF conversions: 15+ issuers will complete mutual fund to ETF conversions totaling over $20 billion
- Active semi-transparent: 10+ ETFs will launch, and assets will exceed $7.5 billion
- Growth milestone: At least two issuers will eclipse $75 billion in AUM
So how did we do in 2023?
- Assets have grown to over $530 billion. Well exceeding our prediction and resulting in a 1 Year CAGR of nearly 56%.
- Cash flow totaled nearly $128 billion for the year, led by a record breaking Q4 that saw nearly $50 billion enter the market. On the heels of this, our three-peat became a reality.
- The industry welcomed 36 active ETFs from 18 separate issuers via conversion, with combined assets on conversion of $13.7 billion. Maybe a half point for hitting on the number of conversions and missing on the total?
- Eight new active semi-transparent ETFs came to market and assets now stand at $5.7 billion. Despite continued investment limitations, these ETFs experienced record cash flow of nearly $2 billion of inflows. Double the total for full year 2022.
Hitting three and a half out of five of our predictions marks continued improvement over our two for five performance in 2021 and three for five performance in 2022. All told, the active ETF market delivered in a big way in 2023.
Beyond our bold predictions, there are a few additional stats from the year that stood out to us:
- Active ETF cash flow as a percentage of total ETF industry cash flow: 21.5%, down from ~30% during the first three quarters of the year, yet continuing to well exceed the market’s ~5% asset market share
- Quarterly cash flow: $46.8 billion, a new quarerly record that resets the tables for 2024
- Active ETF launches as a percentage of total ETF launches: 73.5%, another new record for the industry; activity was spread across 395 ETFs and 125 issuers
- Firms with positive cash flow: 204 firms, over 75% of issuers; up over 5% compared to the prior quarter end of 2023
- ETFs with positive cash flow: 930 active ETFs, or roughly 70% of all ETFs; up 5% compared to the prior quarter end of 2023

Passive vs Active Quarterly Cash Flows
Source: Factset as of 12/31/2023
The actively managed ETF industry continued to see mixed growth across asset classes through the year-end. Equity flows remained the story of the industry, leading the way with $95.4 billion. Investors favored domestic equity exposure (+$71.1 billion) to global (+$24.3 billion). ETFs that focused on core building-block exposures, value tilts or offered an options overlay continued to lead the way. Fixed income flows, $35.4 billion, remained in favor of global exposures (+$19.6 billion) vs. domestic exposures (+$14.7 billion). For global exposures, investors demonstrated ongoing interest in more Core+/Go-anywhere strategies along with Janus Henderson’s CLO ETF (JAAA, +$3.5 billion). For domestic exposures, short term/cash alternatives, municipal and MBS strategies were in favor. Currencies ended the year with positive inflows of nearly $480 million led by ProShares Bitcoin Futures ETF (BITO, +$570 million). Alternatives again reversed their trend and ended the year with outflows of $302 million. Commodities and asset allocation strategies all saw outflows through the year. The outflows were led by commodities (-$1.5 billion, +~$400 million quarter-over-quarter).

At the issuer level, Dimensional (+$31.3 billion) pulled further away from JPMorgan ($+24.0 billion) to claim the 2024 cash-flow crown. Dimensional secured the crown through consistent growth across its lineup, keeping its streak of positive cash flow into 100% of its 38 ETFs. Meanwhile, JPMorgan retained the two biggest cash-flow winners for the year: JEPI (+$12.9 billion) and JEPQ (+$6.8 billion). American Century/Avantis (+$13.1 billion), Capital Group (+$10.5 billion) and First Trust/Cboe Vest (+$8.2 billion) rounded out the top five. American Century/Avantis (+$4.8 billion) and Capital Group (+4.7 billion) both saw flows accelerate in quarter four across their lineups and into their broader market, lower cost actively managed ETFs. Notably, Capital Group ended the year with inflows into all 14 of its ETFs, while American Century/Avantis had inflows into 39 of its 42 ETFs. First Trust’s primary flows were across a range of its defined outcome strategies with Cboe Vest (+$7.7 billion). The lineup was led by its Fund of Buffer ETF (BUFR, +$1.9 billion). Janus (+$6.2 billion), Fidelity (+$4.6 billion), Innovator (+$3.8 billion), PIMCO (+2.9 billion, $1.6 billion in in Q4), PGIM (+$2.2 billion), Simplify (+$1.8 billion), YieldMax (+1.7 billion), Putnam (+$1.4 billion), T. Rowe Price (+$1.3 billion, +~$600 in Q4), Principal (+$1.1 billion, +~$750 million in Q4) and Amplify (+$1 billion, +~$625 million in Q4) rounded out the list of issuers with greater than $1 billion in cash flows for their actively managed lineups. Janus was carried by continued flows in its CLO ETF (JAAA, +$3.4 billion, +$1.4 billion in Q4) and new inflows into its mortgage-backed security ETF (JMBS, +$2.7 billion, +$1.6 billion in Q4). Fidelity’s flows were driven by additional inflows into its Total Bond ETF (FBND, +$3.9 billion, +$1.3 billion quarter-over-quarter). Notably, Fidelity also converted 11 mutual funds into ETFs representing $9.1 billion at conversion. PIMCO, Principal and Amplify saw the largest quarter-over-quarter growth amongst this group. PIMCO was led by increased interest in its short-maturity ETF, MINT, (+$1.4 billion, +$0.7 billion in Q4). Principal was led by its Mega Cap ETF, USMC, (+$600 million, +$410 million in Q4) and Amplify by its Transformational Data Sharing ETF, BLOK (+$380 million, +$412 in Q4). Lastly, YieldMax was the novel story of 2023. Its alternative income focused lineup grew to 18 ETFs during the year and flows were led by +$1.0 billion into its Tesla focused ETF, TSLY.
