ETF Buzz...

CBOE is 3rd in total ETF listings but #1 listings this year…
- It has gotten 44% of all new listings thanks to the derivative based ETF boom
- NYSE still the king with 52% of all ETFs and 66% of ETF volume

Factor ETFs are having their 2nd best year in a decade…every category is seeing inflows except Low Vol (which many think has largely been replaced by buffer ETFs)

Milestone: VOO has officially hit $1T in assets…1st ETF to ever do this, an unbelievable feat (it was at $660B just 12 months ago)
