Assets under management for U.S. exchange-traded funds could more than double to $25 trillion by the end of this decade, Citigroup said, as investors seek the increasingly popular asset class for low-cost, \u200cdiversified exposure across markets.<\/p>\n
As of March 2025, the U.S.-listed ETF industry’s total assets stood at about $10.4 trillion, according to Citi.<\/p>\n
It now expects \u200bmore than $40 trillion by 2035.<\/p>\n
The Wall Street brokerage had previously forecast the industry’s AUM to hit $19 trillion by 2030 and $29 trillion by 2035.<\/p>\n
“While these projections are more optimistic than \u2060our prior estimates, it still suggests ETFs will be in a more \u200bmature phase of AUM growth as flows (organic) and performance (inorganic) drivers will be more \u200bbalanced than the previous ten years,” Citi said.<\/p>\n
A large chunk of the growth could be driven by active ETFs, investments into which are expected to outpace their passive peers, the \u200bbrokerage said.<\/p>\n
Active ETFs are among the fastest-growing segments of the ETF market, \u200battracting investors with flexible strategies and lower costs. Many aim to outperform a benchmark or \u200cdeliver \u2060a specific investment outcome, while passive ETFs seek to track an index and mirror its performance.<\/p>\n
“Our base case expects Active’s market share of ETF AUM to double in ten years as these products gain (a) greater share of industry flows,” \u200bCiti said.<\/p>\n
Other \u2060factors supporting growth within the industry include product innovation, easier ETF launch regulation, adoption of more sophisticated strategies, and \u200bdemand for flexible, tax-efficient investment solutions, Citigroup said.<\/p>\n
ETFs tracking U.S. \u200bequities \u2060have recorded more than $75.8 billion in inflows so far this year, building on more than $1.1 trillion worth of inflows seen in the last two years, according to \u2060data from \u200bLSEG Lipper.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, U.S.-domiciled ETFs have recorded more \u200bthan $435 billion worth of inflows so far this year, as per LSEG Lipper data.<\/p>\n
