The Options-Based ETF Space, the Fastest Growing Segment in the U.S. ETF Market

Options-based ETFs continue to be the fastest growing segment in the US ETF Market. In a market that has over $30 Billion in AUM, the growth in 2021 represented a total of $20 Billion, almost 200% YoY growth.

The product synergy between ETFs and options is clear, individually trading options is inherently complex, and ETFs reduce that complexity for investors while providing the benefits in risk management and income generation.

The main drivers of the surge in options-based ETFs are the volatile markets and the liquidity of options on ETFs and stocks. Volos helps investors by designing simple and straightforward benchmarks that all investors understand, all powered by our leading index methodology.

With over ⅔’s of the market being in Buffers and Buy-write products, Volos expects new strategies to be launched, for example, Short Put Spreads.
