Net assets are the issuer\u2019s figure, dated where older than the page. Net flows run over the window in each cell. A return since launch needs 20 sessions; a younger fund shows its session count. Before Oct 5, 2026 ETFIQ read listings only for the trusts of the funds it covers, and a fund that closed before Oct 3, 2026 is not counted, so a launch can be missing before then. The order is the first trading day, newest first. The list sorts one published figure, with no scoring or weighting. Every US ETF with a first price is eligible. A fund that is only filed is never listed.\n Where to next\n Every recent ETF launch New ETFs this week New ETFs in 2026 New ETFs in 2025 New ETFs in October 2026 New ETFs in September 2026 New ETFs in August 2026 ETF launches in ETF News ETF News New ETFs launched in the last 90 days, screened Every issuer The launches file Where these figures came from\n SEC EDGAR, the exchanges\u2019 certifications of a new listing (Form CERT) SEC EDGAR, full-text search of fund filings SEC Form N-PORT, what a fund filed it holds Rule 19a-1, what a distribution notice must say ETFIQ links to the documents behind every figure; a link is not an endorsement.\n A ranking is not a recommendation or an opinion.
