New ETFs in August 2026, ranked by first trading day, newest first, as of Oct 21, 2026. First trading days from Aug 4, 2026 to Aug 31, 2026; net assets, flows and returns are each dated in their cell or run to the page’s date. Source: ETFIQ.
Method
A launch is a fund’s first trading day: its first price, checked against the exchange’s listing notice.
The rest of the method
56 of the 75 here agree with it. 19 have no notice, and nothing says they traded before their first price. 2 are mutual funds converted into ETFs, each dated by its first day as an ETF. 1 fund is left out where the sources say the fund traded before, each named in the data file. Net assets are the issuer’s 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.
