Yesterday, the team at Simplify Asset Management [profile] publicly confirmed that their ETF family has surpassed $2 billion in AUM. More specifically, Simplify's AUM reached about $2.044 billion in AUM yesterday.

The first three Simplify ETFs debuted on September 3, 2020. The fund family has since grown to include a total of 26 ETFs, ranging from $2.5 million to $544 million in AUM each. Per Simplify's form ADV filed last Decemebr, the team has grown to 24 people, not counting clerical workers.
