ETF Industry KPIs November 9, 2026

• Total AUM fell about 1.8% last week to $16.0 Trillion, an increase of 23.3% versus this time last year.
• Options-based ETFs (such as Covered Call and “Buffer” ETFs) will likely soon surpass Fixed Income funds in number—currently 1,012 versus 1,015—but the latter asset class still accounts for a much larger pile of assets under management (AUM), at $2.7 Trillion versus just $335 Billion for Options-based ETFs.
