grin.
I do think we'll see more of the traditional active community really wade in finally.  THe bear market gives them cover.

Whether thats a Gabelli or a Growth Fund of America, who knows.  But they'll crack.

Happy New Year, Dave.  Two quick questions...                  1. Which ETF provider do you expect to make the biggest leap in 2019  in terms of flows and AUM?                                                              2.  ETFs continue to disrupt mutual funds in terms of flows, growth, downward fee pressure, etc.  What are two or three areas which could slow ETF growth and/or turn the tide in favor of mutual funds?                           &

A two parter!

I think Schwab crosses Invesco to be number 4 this year.
I'll make that bold prediction.
State street has had a bad year (down in assets in a big up year) but they have a LONG way to lose the 3rd place slot.

I think we'll continue to see BIG moves from JP MOrgan and First Trust.
They were 4th and 5th in terms of total growth this year, and I bet that continues.
Distribution is hard to beat, and they've got a plan for that!

what are the best etfs to follow a rise in gold?
Dave Nadig
3:31
So this is pretty simple: there are several ETFs directly just buying gold bullion, and they've been in a bit of a price war lately.
The cheapest two are SGOL and BAR, which are around 17bps I think
3:32
they keep trading for top slot there.
They all do pretty much exactly what they say they do on the tin.

In your opinion, what was the biggest take away in the ETF space for investors and asset managers from 2018? ETF liquidity verified, closures are good?
Dave Nadig

Hi Lois!
Two things.
3:33
1: A lot of folks were saying "just wait until we have some monster volatility, and the ETF structure will break!"
The opposite of course has happened - the ETF structure has proven it can handle about as much crazy as you can drum up.
3:34
2: A lot of (probably the same) folks were saying "just wait until we have a bear market, we'll see all these passive products wilt, and active will have it's day!"
And of course, not happening either.  Now, to be clear, once we set a bottom, there will be SOME active managers who will be on TV a LOT, who will have called the top and bottom.
put 1000 folks in a room, and 10 of them will get it right, and we'll have to put up with months of annointing this "next generation of active rockstars" on CNBC and so on.
3:35
but the math is the math, and I suspect we'll see what we continue to see: market turmoil shakes out the bad active managers, and that money shows up in ETFs.
