BFTR ETF

The week ending November 3, 2023, saw a good number of new ETFs enter the market as well as several closures. In all, there were 14 new ETFs including launches from Defiance, First Trust, Innovator, Roundhill, ProShares, John Hancock, Kingsbarn Capital Management, Dimensional and SRH Funds.

This week saw a total of 17 ETF launches, a major rebound from last week when only six funds debuted and a reversal of the summer trend of fewer launches. ETF closures continued their march forward, with several completing during the week and another handful announced.

Small-cap ETFs are a great way to gain exposure to companies that have high growth potential but may not yet be on the radar of larger investors. These companies are often in the early stages of their growth trajectory.
