Fixed income funds saw $236 billion of inflows through the first half of 2023, by far the largest of any category group. The United States accounted for $150 billion of that $236 billion. At the halfway mark, long-term fund and ETF net flows have converged on zero, despite a moderately robust January.
Actively managed ETFs are steadily gaining acceptance, outpacing passive ETFs in organic growth. Nonindexed ETFs grew 14% organically and now represent 5% of ETF assets globally.
