ETF Stats for May 2011: 1,010 ETFs Fighting For Scraps

A steady onslaught of new product introductions continued in May along with the first closure of the year.  Sponsors rolled out 36 new ETFs and three ETNs while retiring one ETN.  The net addition of 38 brings the quantity of listed ETPs to 1,254 consisting of 1,089 ETFs and 165 ETNs.  Currently, ETNs account for 13.2% of ETP listings, but only 1.5% of assets and 1.4% of trading activity.  The quantity of actively-managed ETFs remained unchanged at just 34.
The four-month streak of no closures ended in early May when <a href="http://investwithanedge.com/bxdd-bites-the-dust" target="_blank">Barclays called its 3x no-reset inverse S&amp;P 500 ETN (BXDD) for redemption</a>.  With 156 new product introductions already in 2011, it is easy to envision a time when closures eventually ramp up again.
Trading activity jumped in April, with total ETP dollar volume increasing 23% to $1.55 trillion.  The increase primarily benefited the products already in the upper tiers of trading activity, but a handful of newer offerings also saw large increases.
At the upper tier, the number of ETFs averaging more than $1 billion in daily trading activity (the Billion Dollar Club) jumped from seven to eleven while accounting for more than 61% of all ETP dollars traded.
One of the new names in the Billion Dollar Club this month is Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (<a class="ticker" href="/stock/vwo#">VWO</a>).  It recently surpassed iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (<a class="ticker" href="/stock/eem#">EEM</a>) for assets under management and is now making great strides as a trading vehicle.
Products averaging more than $100 million of trading per day held steady and accounted for 89% of all dollars traded.  Products averaging more than $10 million of trading per day increased from 230 to 244 and grabbed more than 98% of ETP dollars traded.  The remaining 1,010 funds had to fight for the leftover scraps, totaling less than 2%.
Assets under management were $1.11 trillion at the end of May, which is off -2.0% for the month, although they are +10.4% year-to-date.

Startup companies can have the potential to become the next Facebook, Google or Amazon. Being able to invest early in these companies can skyrocket your wealth. For example, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/22/03/26210945/heres-how-much-1000-invested-in-amazon-com-20-years-ago-would-be-worth-today">if you invested $1,000 in Amazon 20 years ago, then you&rsquo;d have over $218,000.</a>

While startup investments are riskier, they&rsquo;re becoming more appealing with the advent of new industries like blockchain and data science. Luckily, you can use several tools like self-directed IRAs, initial public offering (IPO) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and crowdfunding sites like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/startengine-review/">StartEngine</a> to invest in startups.

<h2>Self-directed IRA</h2>

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-in-real-estate-with-a-self-directed-ira/">A self-directed IRA</a> is similar to a traditional IRA since you can earn upfront tax deductions and save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. You can also choose to have a Roth self-directed IRA, meaning that you pay taxes on the contribution to earn future tax-free growth.

The biggest difference in a self-directed IRA is that you can invest in alternative investments like real estate, precious metals and startup companies with this account. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/20/09/n17645048/altoira-enables-individuals-to-invest-in-startups-using-iras">Alto IRA</a> is one of the more established players in this space, and you can invest in private equity, pre-IPO and other alternative investments.

Alto IRA has partnerships with over 75 partners including AngelList and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/republic-review/">Republic</a>, which you can access for just $25 per month. It has other fees for wire transfers, account closure and partner investment fees. You can also filter its partner sites based on several factors like industry, investment minimums and accreditation status.

<h2>IPO ETFs</h2>

IPO ETFs invest in companies that have recently IPO&rsquo;d or have begun trading on public stock markets. They don&rsquo;t have holdings in pre-IPO companies, but these ETFs focus on mostly U.S equity. Some IPO ETFs include international holdings, including First Trust International Equity Opportunities ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FPXI#NASDAQ">FPXI</a>), with Goldman Sachs Access Inflation Protected USD Bond ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GTIP#BATS">GTIP</a>) having fixed-income holdings.

These unique ETFs can provide exposure to newly IPO&rsquo;d companies while providing liquidity and proven track records. Many of these companies have low trading volumes, which limit liquidity and result in lower stock prices.

With ETFs, trading volumes are much higher, leading to more price stability. Many IPO ETFs have been around for several years, making it easier to analyze the fund via important online forms like the <a href="https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/form-10-k">10-K.</a>

<h2>Crowdfunding via StartEngine</h2>

Many crowdfunding sites for various investment classes like real estate, private equity and startups are available. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/startengine-review/">StartEngine</a> helps everyday investors invest in startups for as little as $100. This platform offers more than 200 startup investments in several sub-niches like aviation and fitness.

Investors can also access presentation decks and research for each investment. All startups on StartEngine have passed anti-fraud and background checks. Regardless, not all company information is available, and these vetting processes aren&rsquo;t as strict as those that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/22051772/so-you-want-to-take-your-company-public-what-should-you-do-now">public companies have to undergo.</a>

<h2>Bottom Line</h2>

Investing early in the right startup can greatly increase your wealth. Investing $1,000 in household names like Apple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/21/11/23988927/heres-how-much-1000-invested-in-apple-15-years-ago-would-be-worth-today">even just 15 years ago</a> would have resulted in gaining tens if not, hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Startups are even more popular as technology is advancing randomly and new industries like data science are starting to grow exponentially. In the past, it was harder to invest in these companies, but even average investors can access these opportunities via self-directed IRAs, IPO ETFs and crowdfunding sites like StartEngine.
