Tuesday, December 23, 2025 More Than $2T In 11 Months The ETF side of the asset management industry has grown at a record pace this year and continues to reach new milestones, both across the world and in the U.S. in particular, despite a slight slowdown last month, according to the latest data from the folks at an ETF-focused research firm. This month, Debbie Fuhr, managing partner of ETFGI, revealed that a record $1.28 trillion net flowed into U.S. exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded products in the first 11 months of 2025, up by $250 billion (24.2 percent) from the prior record in the first 11 months of 2024. The U.S. accounted for 62.7 percent of the year-to-date worldwide ETF and ETP inflows of $2.04 trillion as of November 30, 2025 (also a new record, up by $370 billion from the prior record in the first 11 months of 2024). Meanwhile, active ETFs worldwide brought in a record $581.25 billion in net inflows in the first 11 months of 2025, accounting for 28.5 percent of worldwide inflows and up by $249.42 billion (75.2 percent) year-over-year from the prior record. The ETFGI team reports that the U.S. ETF and ETP industry reached a record $13.22 trillion in AUM on November 30, 2025, up by $140 billion (1.1 percent) month-over-month from the prior record on October 31, 2025 and up by $2.62 trillion (24.7 percent) Y/Y from November 30, 2024. As of the end of last month, the U.S. now accounts for 68 percent of worldwide ETF and ETP AUM of $19.44 trillion. (Worldwide ETF and ETP AUM also reached a new peak last month, up by $190 billion from the prior record on October 31, 2025 and up by $4.24 trillion Y/Y.) Meanwhile, active ETFs worldwide reached a record $1.86 trillion in AUM on November 31, 2025, accounting for 9.6 percent of total worldwide ETF and ETP AUM, up by $40 billion M/M from the prior record, and up by 59.4 percent year-to-date.
