Tuesday, November 25, 2014 F-Squared and M* Crush It F-Squared and Morningstar are crushing it this year. Morningstar just released its "ETF Managed Portfolios Landscape Summary" for Q3 2014. The report shows that assets at the biggest ETF managed portfolio shop, F-Squared, were up 26.5 percent year-to-date to $25.0908 billion as of September 30, 2014. The good news even as F-Squared is facing SEC scrutiny, news that broke at the beginning of September. Morningstar itself, though smaller (number six on the list) was up a whopping 54.6 percent year-to-date to $3.3871 billion. (Morningstar's ETF managed portfolio business is operated by its Morningstar Associates, Ibbotson Associates and Morningstar Investment Services subsidiaries. The ETF managed portfolio report is released by another side, Morningstar's research group.) Assets for ETF managed portfolios across the whole universe Morningstar tracks were at $96 billion on September 30, 2014, down six percent in Q3 but "on par with their end of 2013 level."
