Have ETFs Entered a New Phase?

News summary by MFWire's editors

The gold rush in exchange-traded funds may finally be over, writes Wall Street Journal reporter Tom Lauricella.

In a WSJ article that ran as part of the newspaper's monthly investing in funds special report, Lauricella has this to write on the subject:
Hundreds of ETFs are languishing with meager interest from investors. Price wars are pinching profits. And with more than 1,400 exchange-traded offerings already in the market, there are few niches left open for new entrants.
Lauricella also notes that "against this backdrop, 99 ETFs and related exchange-traded offerings have hung up a 'going out of a business' sign thus far in 2012, according to Thomson Reuters Corp.'s Lipper unit. That's the most closures for a single year in the nearly two-decade-long history of ETFs. It's also more closures than in the past three years combined."
