Current market environment performance of dynamic, risk-managed investment solutions.

In August, 26 exchange-traded products (“ETPs”) were added to the ETF Deathwatch list and 19 were removed, bringing the total to 513.

Twenty-one products were added to the list due to low trading volume. The low volume in these products could be due to the nature of their investment product. Five products were added due to low assets under management (“AUM”), though they may have enough AUM to avoid closure. Our system takes into account both AUM and volume. If both remain low, these funds could be considered for closure.

Five products were removed from the list due to delisting and 14 were removed due to improved health.

Forty-five ETPs on Deathwatch this month 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 $9.52 million to $9.20 million, and 38 ETPs had less than $2 million in assets. The average age of products on the list increased from 45.15 months to 45.70 months, and the number of products at least 5 years of age increased from 112 to 118. The largest ETP on the list had an AUM of $24.89 million, while the smallest had assets of just $226,000.
