THE FUND WATCH
How Did RIAs
Fare in Recent
ETF Growth?
YEAH, BUT WHEN will they impact 401(k) choice (if ever)?
While ETFs remain sparse in 401(k) investment menus,
RIAs dominate when it comes to the product's utilization

FinTech giant Broadridge Financial Solutions reports
that exchange traded fund (ETF) assets grew by $144

years as one of the hottest products in asset management-funds that
combine hedge-fund strategies like shorting stock with the daily liquidity
of mutual funds, " according to the paper. " In all, 31 liquid-alternative funds
have been closed this year, up from 22 a year earlier. "

followed by wirehouses with $45 billion and independent
broker dealers (IBDs) with $41 billion. The only
retail channel with increased assets for long-term mutual
funds over this period was the RIA channel with an
increase of $29 billion.
