Invesco’s institutional ETF research, developed with Cerulli Associates, highlights how asset owners are moving beyond basic ETF usage into more advanced, strategic applications. Drawing on 31 executive interviews and 200 survey responses across US and Canadian institutions, the research shows ETF adoption has accelerated significantly, with assets nearly doubling over five years to $337 billion1.
ETFs are no longer used solely for transition management or cash equitization. Instead, many institutions now incorporate them as long-term core holdings within portfolios, reflecting greater confidence and scale. Some users are even partnering with issuers to co-develop customized strategies. While liquidity, ease of use, and cost remain universally important, institutions increasingly prioritize issuer capabilities such as research, analytics, and portfolio construction support.
Adoption varies by segment, but public and corporate defined benefit plans, foundations, and insurers are all expanding ETF usage. Overall, ETFs are becoming a more deeply integrated, flexible tool in institutional portfolio construction, signaling a shift toward more deliberate and sophisticated implementation.
