The month of July saw inflows into the sector for the fourteenth consecutive month. As of the end of July, inflows into thematic ETFs listed internationally were $22.69 billion.
On a broader scale, assets under management for thematic ETFs and ETPs climbed from $225 billion at the end of June to $241 billion, a rise of 7.2%.

At the end of 2021, the total AUM was $279 billion; it is currently $241 billion.

The panorama of themed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is a prominent field that includes a wide range of niche markets, from cannabis to robotics, as well as cryptocurrency, innovation, places, and green energy.
iShares S&P Global Clean Energy Index ETF (NASDAQ:ICLN), Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF, ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF, ARK Innovation ETF, KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF, and ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF are six examples of funds.
MJ is down 46.6% on the year, compared to BOTZ’s decline of 39.2%, BITO’s 54.1%, ARKK’s 53.4%, KWEB’s 16.3%, and ICLN’s 7.5%.
In addition to thematic ETFs, actively managed ETFs received $8.22 billion in net capital inflows from investors in July 2022.
