S&P Global Market Intelligence has launched ETF Intelligence, a new analytics service that combines proprietary data and market insights to deliver a deeper understanding of the global ETF universe, including sectors, flows, investment themes, growth patterns and broader market dynamics.

U.S. options-based ETF assets surged from less than $5 billion in 2019 to $245 billion in 2025, according to analysis from S&P Global Market Intelligence. As investor demand continues to drive innovation across the ETF ecosystem, market participants require greater transparency into portfolio exposures, liquidity, valuation and risk.

ETF Intelligence addresses this need through comprehensive coverage of the global ETF universe, delivering more than 150 daily metrics across flows, performance, liquidity, volatility, benchmark comparisons and portfolio composition analytics. The new offering is part of S&P Global Market Intelligence’s broader portfolio of cross-platform, multi-asset-class data and managed services solutions, reflecting the organization’s focus on bringing together related capabilities within specific asset classes to better support customer workflows.

“As the ecosystem scales in both size and complexity, the ability to understand underlying exposures, liquidity and risk with greater precision is paramount,” said Paul Wilson, Head of Data, Pricing, Valuations & Analytics at S&P Global Market Intelligence. “Our aim in developing ETF Intelligence is to help clients better understand the forces shaping ETFs and to support more informed decision-making in a rapidly evolving market.”

Key features of ETF Intelligence include:

• Proprietary data and analytics integration: Combines ETF analytics with proprietary S&P Global datasets to generate multi-dimensional insights and support custom signal development across asset classes
• Industry and trend intelligence: Supports sector and thematic analysis, including flows, growth patterns and broader market dynamics
• Comprehensive, timely data foundation: Contains over a decade of historical data alongside daily refreshed analytics to support both trend analysis and real-time decision-making
• Global coverage with flexible application: Covers more than 15,000 ETFs across major markets and supports workflows spanning research, quantitative modeling, risk management and product development.
