ETF Deathwatch: First quarter 2026

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:33:16 GMT

In the first quarter of 2026, 197 exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) were added to the ETF Deathwatch list and 72 were removed, bringing the total up to 842.

Among the additions this quarter, two were due to low assets under management (“AUM”) and 195 were due to low trading volume. The low volume may be related to the nature of their investment products. Our system takes both AUM and volume into account. If both remain low, these funds could be considered for closure.

Among the removals for the quarter, 15 were due to delisting and 57 were due to improved health.

The average age of products on the list decreased from 45.94 months to 41.33 months, while the number of products at least 5 years old increased to 155. Seventy-one ETPs on Deathwatch this quarter have been in the market for at least 10 years, including many short ETPs.

The average asset level of the threatened ETPs on ETF Deathwatch decreased from $10.21 million to $9.68 million, and 96 products had assets of less than $2 million. The largest ETP on the list had an AUM of $24.93 million, while the smallest had assets of just $152,730.

Here is the complete list of 842 ETPs on ETF Deathwatch for Q1 2026, compiled using the objective ETF Deathwatch Criteria.

ETF Deathwatch: Fourth quarter 2025

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 13:34:03 GMT

In the fourth quarter of 2025, 190 exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) were added to the ETF Deathwatch list, and 102 were removed, bringing the total up to 717.

Among the additions this quarter, all were due to low trading volume. The low volume may be related to the nature of their investment products. Our system takes into account both AUM and volume. If both remain low, these funds could be considered for closure.

Among the removals for the quarter, 39 were due to delisting and 63 were due to improved health.

The average age of products on the list decreased from 51.52 months to 45.94 months, while the number of products at least 5 years old increased to 137. Seventy-one ETPs on Deathwatch this quarter have been in the market for at least 10 years, including many short ETPs.

The average asset level of the threatened ETPs on ETF Deathwatch decreased from $10.81 million to $10.21 million, and 62 products had assets of less than $2 million. The largest ETP on the list had an AUM of $24.70 million, while the smallest had assets of just $400,000.

Here is the complete list of 717 ETPs on ETF Deathwatch for Q4 2025, compiled using the objective ETF Deathwatch Criteria.

ETF Deathwatch: Third quarter 2025

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 20:07:35 GMT

In the third quarter of 2025, 16 exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) were added to the ETF Deathwatch list, and 184 were removed, bringing the total down to 618.

Among the additions this quarter, 16 were due to low trading volume. The low volume may be related to the nature of their investment products. None of the additions were due to low assets under management (“AUM”). Our system takes into account both AUM and volume. If both remain low, these funds could be considered for closure.

Among the removals for the quarter, 111 were due to delisting and 73 were due to improved health.

Seventy-one ETPs on Deathwatch this quarter have been in the market for at least 10 years, including many short ETPs.

The average asset level of the threatened ETPs on ETF Deathwatch increased from $10.32 million to $10.81 million, and 46 products had assets of less than $2 million. The average age of products on the list rose from 44.77 months to 51.52 months, while the number of products at least 5 years old decreased to 128. The largest ETP on the list had an AUM of $24.92 million, while the smallest had assets of just $387,745.

In March, 94 exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) were added to the ETF Deathwatch list and 39 were removed, bringing the total to 765 ETPs.

Among the additions, 93 were due to low trading volume. The low volume could be due to the nature of their investment product. One addition was due to low assets under management (“AUM”). Our system takes into account both AUM and volume. If both remain low, these funds could be considered for closure.

Among the removals, 23 were due to delisting, and 16 were due to improved health.

Seventy-nine ETPs on Deathwatch this month have been in the market for at least 10 years, including many short ETPs.
