ETF market study United Kingdom 2025

The ETF market is booming. But are you choosing wisely?

Our latest study from Lumin Wealth dives deep into today’s rapidly evolving ETF landscape to help investors cut through the noise and make smarter portfolio decisions.

Why this study matters

The days of simple, low-cost ETFs are over. With 3,000 ETFs now listed on the London Stock Exchange alone, choosing the right ETF has never been more important.

What’s inside the study?

  • Passive vs. active ETFs: Are active ETFs worth the cost? Many still fail to beat their benchmarks – despite higher fees and complex strategies.
  • Low-cost vs. high-fee products: Fees range from 0.03% to 1.25%, even for similar funds. Are you overpaying?
  • Classic vs. thematic Investing: Thematic ETFs like AI and robotics offer promise, but over 80% underperformed their benchmarks in the past three years.
  • Top vs. bottom performers: With returns ranging from +50% to –31%, the gap is widening. Find out which sectors are driving performance – and which are lagging.
