ETF TV News: Korean market sees multiple launches; we review 2020 in numbers

ETF TV

The past week has seen 18 new exchange traded funds (ETFs) issued globally, with several on Korea Exchange (KRX), and two from Korean issuer, Global X Funds, launched on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The SPAC & New Issue ETF issued on NYSE Arca represents an evolution of investment in special purpose acquisition vehicles (SPACs).

With total ETF assets under management being close to $8 trillion by the end of the year – barring anything unforeseen happening – and flows close to $700 billion which is a record, 2020 has been a year of many breakthroughs, both positive and negative.
