In this video insight, Mike “nerds out” on the extensive data capabilities available through ETF Action’s Premium reporting packages. The discussion focuses specifically on the Monthly Category Data Packs, which provide granular data for over 100+ proprietary ETF categories.
These reports are updated monthly to help Financial Advisors and ETF Issuers navigate the ETF landscape. Whether you are looking to satisfy RegBI suitability requirements, identify top performing funds, compare expense ratios, or analyze concentration risks within specific sectors, these data packs offer a “look-through” capability that aggregates data from the individual ETF level up to category averages.
In this video, you will learn how to:

- Utilize Excel data packs to sort by expense ratios, trading spreads, and market share.
- Analyze AUM flows to see which funds are growing effectively vs. absolute volume.
