U.S. exchange-traded funds and other ETPs (exchange-traded products) held a record $4.08 trillion in AUM as of the end of September, according to data released last Thursday by ETFGI. (That's up from $4.02 trillion at the end of July.) ETF and ETP AUM worldwide reached a record $5.78 trillion, the ETFGI team confirmed on Monday.

U.S. ETF AUM rose 2.2 percent in September, the ETFGI team estimates. $49.72 billion of that increase (more than half) came from net inflows, and the top 20 ETFs by inflows accounted for more than 72 percent of those net inflows. The U.S. industry had 2,303 funds from 149 providers (out of 7,797 funds and 422 providers worldwide).
