ETF Deathwatch for March 2025

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.

The average asset level of the threatened ETPs on ETF Deathwatch decreased from $10.07 million to $9.71 million, and 62 products had less than $2 million in assets. The average age of products on the list decreased from 45.93 months to 45.04 months, and the number of products at least 5 years of age increased to 146. The largest ETP on the list had an AUM of $24.47 million, while the smallest had assets of just $416,179.
