ETF Closures Slow, but Plenty Seen as Vulnerable

One of those ETFs appears on Wealth Management’s ETP Liquidation Watch List. Three iShares ETFs on the list are part of a previously announced group of 10 funds that will be shuttered by the world’s largest ETF issuer, in essence bringing the number of ETFs on the list to 87.

The ETP Liquidation Watch focuses on three criteria: Assets under management below $5 million, ETFs and ETNs that have been around more than two years and a negative trailing 12-month performance.

Of the 10 largest U.S. ETF issuers, only State Street Global Advisors, Vanguard and Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW) do not currently have funds on the ETF Liquidation Watch List.
