  • More than 650 new ETFs have launched as of Dec. 5, 2024, beating last year's record by more than 150. Each year has marked a record of ETF launches since the advent of the US Securities and Exchange Commission's "ETF Rule" in 2019. The rule made it easier to bring new ETFs to market.

The article from Morningstar discusses the performance and trends of new ETFs launched in 2024. It highlights that despite a challenging year for the ETF industry, with fewer new launches compared to previous years, several ETFs have managed to stand out. The best-performing new ETFs include those focusing on niche sectors like clean energy, cybersecurity, and AI technology, which have benefited from increased investor interest in sustainable and tech-driven themes. Conversely, the worst performers include ETFs that were overly specialized or tied to volatile commodities or emerging markets, which struggled due to economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. The article also notes a trend towards more actively managed ETFs, with investors seeking strategies that can adapt quickly to market changes. Overall, the piece underscores the importance of strategic focus and adaptability in the success of new ETFs in a fluctuating market environment.
