ETFs and other ETPs reached a record $6.6 trillion in combined AUM on July 31, 2021, out of $9.46 trillion in worldwide ETP assets, the ETFGI team confirms. Thus, the U.S. accounts for 69.8 percent of worldwide ETP AUM.

U.S. ETPs also brought in $51.71 billion in net inflows last month, accounting for 64.3 percent of worldwide ETP inflows of $80.45 billion, according to the ETFGI folks.

In the first seven months of 2021, U.S. ETPs brought in a record $523.89 billion in net inflows (almost double the $275.34 billion they netted in the first seven months of 2020). They accounted for 70.8 percent of worldwide ETP inflows of $739.54 billion in the first seven months of 2021 (also nearly double the comparable period in 2020).

ESG ETFs accounted for $309 billion (3.3 percent) of worldwide ETP AUM on July 31, 2021. Yet they accounted for $97 billion (13.1 percent) of worldwide ETP net inflows in the first seven months of 2021.

As for active ETFs, they accounted for $404 billion (4.3 percent) of worldwide ETP AUM on July 31, 2021. Yet they accounted for $88 billion (11.9 percent) of worldwide ETP net inflows in the first seven months of 2021.
