A team of Morningstar analysts headed by Bryan Armour and Ryan Jackson described the market as "lopsided" and calculated the top 10 issuers of active ETFs controlled 74% of assets. The remaining 310 firms that also have rolled out actively managed ETFs have done so with comparatively "limited success," the analysts said.
