The growth engine at the big asset managers is a sliver of assets doing most of the work, which is why every legacy active shop is racing to convert mutual funds into ETFs.

Active ETFs at BlackRock, T. Rowe, Franklin, AB and Invesco make up 1-2% of their aum but generated 10-15% of firmwide 1H net flows = why legacy active tripping over themselves to launch and market ETFs. https://t.co/ziMG3BtCX3 [Quoted @neil_sipes4]: Active ETFs are moving from small AUM franchises to meaningful flow drivers for traditional asset managers, with plenty of runway. BlackRock, T. Rowe, Franklin, AB and Invesco generated 10-15% of firmwide 1H net flows from just 1-2% of AUM. Wealth and model adoption are leading https://t.co/BLHaWeIbC7

Autocallable ETFs are the fastest growing slice of retiree income products, and the 14% payout holds only until a deep equity drawdown flips the trigger. Know where that line sits before buying the yield.

"You can think of it like a bond that is tied to the equity markets. You are going to get that 14% income as long as equity markets are not down too far (>40% in a month)." - Matt Kaufman of Calamos on ETF IQ on Autocallable ETFs, the fastest growing category of Boomer Candy https://t.co/fOUWdqtOcJ

xAI's coding model climbed the SWE-Together leaderboard after maintainers re-ran every trial, and coding benchmarks are the scoreboard enterprise AI budgets increasingly follow.

Grok 4.7 moves up in ranking https://t.co/dDZqhkBJBV [Quoted @zhuokaiz]: After we fixed the weak spots exposed by Grok 4.7 (thank you, Grok), we audited every model we have run on the SWE-Together leaderboard for the same behavior, re-ran every trial that got through, and updated the rows. Here is what changed. We scanned the tool calls of all https://t.co/SKggd1AR6i https://t.co/32qJG7MB5x

Eleven new points on the intelligence-versus-cost frontier in a single week means the price of frontier-grade reasoning is falling faster than most AI software pricing models assume.

The Intelligence Index vs Cost per Task Pareto frontier shifted this week with the releases of MiMo-V2.6-Pro, Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6 Luna, and GPT-6 Sol Together they have established eleven new points on the Pareto frontier (driven by different reasoning efforts): five from https://t.co/JFQb5EB6hX

If the core bond sleeve now rises on only 40% of S&P 500 down days, the classic 60/40 cushion is not doing the job investors are paying it for.

Hard to blame investors either given AGG hasn't kept up with inflation AND cannot be trusted to hedge stocks as it is now less likely than in the past to post a gain on days when the S&P 500 falls. It used to go up 90% of time SPY down. Now it's 40%. Major development. https://t.co/FUPYZYiZLX

Bloomberg's ETF analyst says the bond sleeve investors think they own has quietly shrunk to 16% of ETF assets, with buffers, covered calls and gold/bitcoin taking the slack.

The 60/40 is more like 80/15/5 today as fixed income ETFs now make up only 16% of total ETF assets, down from 23% in 2020. Further, they only make up 10% of new launches. Equities are 80% and then buffers, covered call and gold/btc are crowbarring their way in with the remainder. https://t.co/zPz1GpVmtF

Bloomberg's ETF analyst is putting a number on the cost of trading the doom headlines: 34% in 22 months for anyone who just held the S&P 500 index fund through AI bubble talk and Fed hikes.

COYOTE VS SPX: Wrote today about how this market is so akin to the Road Runner cartoon, as the S&P 500 cheerfully eludes each new alarmist narrative thrown at it by the Doomers w/ AI Fears and Fed Hikes being the latest attempts over the past 22mos which has seen $VOO gain 34%. https://t.co/lTfpbZwldr
