ETFs Charted: 5 Charts We Thought You'd Like this Week

U.S. active ETF assets have now surpassed $1.4 trillion — accounting for nearly 10% of the total ETF market. The segment’s growth has been remarkable, more than doubling in just 18 months and doubling its market share over the past three years.
