CBO-Monthly Budget Review: July 2024
August 8, 2024--Summary
The federal budget deficit was $1.5 trillion in the first 10 months of fiscal year 2024, the Congressional Budget Office estimates-$103 billion less than the deficit recorded during the same period last fiscal year. Revenues were $397 billion (or 11 percent) higher and outlays were $293 billion (or 6 percent) higher from October through July than they were during the same period in fiscal year 2023.
Shifts in the timing of certain payments affect that comparison. Outlays in the first 10 months of each fiscal year were reduced by shifts of some payments to September that otherwise would have been due on October 1, which fell on a weekend in both years. If not for those timing shifts, the deficit so far in fiscal year 2024 would have been $94 billion smaller than the shortfall for the same period in fiscal year 2023.

How active ETFs are unlocking innovation and opportunity for investors
July 22, 2024--KEY TAKEAWAYS
Active ETFs are an increasingly important part of investor toolkits, alongside mutual funds, closed-end funds (including private markets), separately managed accounts, and index ETFs.
Investors are increasingly choosing to access actively managed strategies through ETFs due to the wrapper's benefits, including tax efficiency and transparency.
BlackRock projects that global active ETF assets under management will surge to $4 trillion by 2030-a more than a four-fold increase in about six years.1
The Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) industry has dramatically transformed in the past 30 years, progressively growing in both assets under management and in the variety of ETFs available to investors. From just a handful of U.S.-based funds in 1993 to over 13,000 globally currently, ETFs have evolved to provide transparent access to a broad range of asset classes, sectors, and geographies.2
