On Friday, J.P. Morgan Asset Management closed out the week with the launch of the JPMorgan U.S. Research Enhanced Large Cap ETF (JUSA).

The past week saw a spike in ETF launches, with 19 new funds debuting.

Only eight funds debuted during the week ending August 11. The new ETF launches included a sustainable commodity fund from USCF Advisers, two fixed income ETFs from Strive Asset Management, and an options strategy ETF targeting Netflix stock from YieldMax.

While launches were strong last week, other ETF-related actions were few and far between.

The first half of 2021 brought a torrid pace of exchange traded funds debuts, with 200 rookie ETFs coming to market. As CFRA Research Director of ETF & Mutual Fund Research Todd Rosenbluth points out, more than a quarter of that tally, 51 funds to be precise, debuted in June alone.
