Assets in exchange traded funds are expected to hit $7.6tn within the next three years, according to new research from consultancy EY, with almost all fund managers likely to have joined the fast-growing market by 2022.

Passive funds, including ETFs, have undergone huge growth in recent years as investors have reduced their reliance on actively managed funds, which charge higher fees and in many cases have not delivered the market-beating performance they promise.
