A historic surge of cash has swept into exchange-traded funds, spurring asset managers to launch new trading strategies that could be undone by a market downturn.
This year's inflows into ETFs world-wide crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time at the end of November, surpassing last year's total of $735.7 billion, according to Morningstar Inc. data. That wave of money, along with rising markets, pushing global ETF assets to nearly $9.5 trillion, more than double where the industry stood at the end of 2018.
Most of that money has gone into low-cost U.S. funds that track indexes run by Vanguard Group, $Blackrock(BLK.US)$ and $State Street(STT.US)$, which together control more than three-quarters of all U.S. ETF assets. Analysts said rising stock markets, including a 25% lift for the S&P 500 this year, and a lack of high-yielding alternatives have boosted interest in such funds. $Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Etf(FBCG.US)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF(SPY.US)$
You have this historical precedent where you have tumultuous equity markets, and more and more investors have made their way to index products.”
--- said Rich Powers, head of ETF and index product management at Vanguard.

Asset managers long known for running mutual funds are rushing to take advantage of investors' interest in active ETFs. More than half of the record 380 ETFs launched in the U.S. this year are actively managed.
--- according to FactSet.
Fidelity, Putnam and $T. Rowe Price(TROW.US)$ are among the firms that have rolled out actively managed ETFs in 2021. Firms new to ETFs have also entered the fray. The top 20 fastest-growing ETFs, largely run by Vanguard and $Blackrock(BLK.US)$, this year pulled in nearly 40% of all flows, charged an average fee of less than 0.10 percentage point and tracked benchmarks of some sort.
Many active ETFs remain comparatively small and charge fees higher than passive funds, putting a swath of new products at risk of closing over the next several years. ETFs usually need between $50 million and $100 million in assets within five years of launching to become profitable, analysts and executives say; funds below those levels have tended to close.
Of the nearly 600 active ETFs in the U.S., three-fifths have less than $100 million in assets; more than half are below $50 million.
--- according to FactSet data.
You' re going to see a lot of those firms take a hard look at their future.”
--- said Elisabeth Kashner, FactSet’s director of ETF research.
Analysts also said the success of ARK Investment Management Chief Executive Cathie Wood in 2020 showed how active ETFs can score big returns and pull in substantial sums of money. Several of ARK's funds doubled last year, and its assets approached $60 billion earlier this year, though many of its bets have slumped in 2021. $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK.US)$ $ARK Genomic Revolution ETF(ARKG.US)$
Most other active managers aren't doing much better. Two-thirds of large-cap managers of mutual funds have fallen short of benchmarks this year, while roughly 10% of the 371 U.S. active ETFs with full-year performance data are beating the S&P 500. More than a third are flat or negative for 2021.

$Bright Health Group(BHG.US)$ getting close to a breakout. 4.97 could be challenged on Wednesday

$Apple(AAPL.US)$ rose 0.3% today. The company shares are on track to hit another milestone in terms of market capitalization, which is $3 trillion, according to Wedbush Securities.
...the Street is starting to better appreciate the robust fundamental story into 2022. Hitting $3 trillion is another watershed moment for Apple as the company continues to prove the doubters wrong."
—— Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives twetted eariler today.
On Dec. 2, Daniel Ives raised the firm's price target on Apple to $200 from $185 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The analyst has increased confidence in the iPhone 13 growth cycle into 2022 following channel checks.
The checks "continue to be much stronger than expected" and Apple is now on pace to sell north of 40M iPhones during the holiday season despite the chip shortage headwinds, Ives tells investors in a research note. The analyst believes the underlying iPhone 13 demand story both domestically and in China "is trending well ahead of Street expectations." He estimates that in China alone there are roughly 15M iPhone 13 upgrades for the December quarter. Apple is on its way to three trillion dollar market cap during 2022 and is a "top tech name to own," contends Ives.
Besides Ives, Loup Ventures analyst Gene Munster also think Apple's $3T Milestone is a nod and its best days are to come. The analyst said in a note Sunday that the previous $200 target laid out by him was "too conservative." Munster said that in FY 23, Apple will earn $7 yields, which is a $250 share price — a 38% markup from the current levels.
Munster's optimism is riding on two new product categories — metaverse and autonomy.
According to Bloomberg, J.P.Morgan raises iPhone maker's Apple price target to $210 from $180, highest on Wall Street, meaning nearly 17% upside to stock's last close ($179.45/shares on Dec. 10th).
In the long run, Apple maybe one of the hottest stock to watch. But there are also bearish view on Apple once it hit $3T milestone.
Danil Sereda, an author from Seeking Alpha, suggested that Apple's upward movement becomes more and more fragile after the new high is reached because the rally looks overheated. He said that investors stopped paying due attention to the negative news about the company. Apple stock does not react in any way to negativity - the bulls just do not let it go down.
Meanwhile, Apple has been at its peak for too long with all the inputs described above. Historically, the longer the stock has been so close to its highs, the more it corrected (and not only during the Dot-com bubble and the Financial Crisis of 2008).
Mooers, do you think whether Apple's market cap will hit $3 trillion today?
