YOUR WEEKLY UPDATE ON TOP ETF TRENDS

A NOTE FROM BOB

Confused on how to get access to higher-yielding bond funds? Join me Monday on ETF Edge at 1 PM when my guest will be Bryon Lake, Head of ETFs at America for JP Morgan, and Tom Lydon, Vice Chairman of VettaFi. Bryon is in charge of the JP Morgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST), currently the largest actively managed ETF in the world, with $22 billion in assets. It invests in U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities with an effective duration of one year or less. Interested in equities with lower volatility? Learn about JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI), which seeks to provide similar returns as the S&P 500 with lower volatility and monthly income. It's seen the most inflows this year of any active fund. ETFedge.cnbc.com.

ETF providers are launching all sorts of actively managed products, particularly in the bond space, in the hopes that active managers can outperform index funds in a volatile year. Capital Group just launched three active funds this week. Hope never dies.

Buffer ETFs, which cushion losses in return for a cap on gains, are having a moment. We had Bruce Bond from Innovator on ETF Edge in August, but interest has only grown since then.

You think tech ETFs are having a bad year? Crypto exchange traded funds account for five of the worst seven debuts in the history of the ETF industry, according to the Financial Times.

A love letter to the stock market? That's how Burton Malkiel describes my new book, "Shut Up and Keep Talking: Lessons on Life and Investing from the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange."
