Not exact matches
My friend Jeffrey Ptak from Morningstar recently ran the updated AUM numbers for me on fund assets
in the U.S. which includes both
ETFs and mutual funds to
give a breakdown by various

No real surprises there
given the headlines that gold and emerging markets have grabbed during the past several years; perhaps it's just interesting to note that a select few
ETFs have garnered such vast inflows when several other alternatives exist
in each
category.
There is some double - counting within the fixed income
categories as fund of funds invest
in other fixed income
ETFs, for instance, while the slew of new entrants
in recent months have
given demand a one - time boost.
