Reward 500 Tiger-coinsETFs are becoming a go-to tool for investors around the world. US ETF market has reached a striking milestone.
According to Bloomberg citing Morningstar, there are now 4,370 ETFs listed across U.S. exchanges—that’s more than the 4,172 individual stocks available.
With nearly $12 trillion AUM, ETFs have become a powerhouse industry. But more choice doesn’t always mean easier decisions.
On SGX, the choices are relatively straightforward:
SPDR STI ETF – tracking Singapore’s Straits Times Index, covering blue-chip names
Lion-Phillip S-REIT ETF – focused on REITs with steady dividends
SPDR Gold Shares – a hedge against uncertainty
Lion-OCBC Hang Seng Tech ETF – exposure to Hong Kong’s fast-growing tech sector
The Paradox of Too Much Choice
Morningstar’s Ben Johnson calls this “choice overload.”
Too many options: Strategies overlap, fund names look similar, and it’s hard to tell what’s different.
Execution matters: Two ETFs may claim the same strategy, but differences in cost, tracking error, or methodology can change returns.
What’s your goal for holding ETF?
Broad market exposure $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ , hot theme $iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF(IGV)$ or Alternative assets $iShares Gold Trust(IAU)$
What ETFs are in your portfolio?
Do ETFs outnumber stocks in your portfolio?
What features do you look at when picking ETFs or stocks?
Do you feel overloaded with too many choices?
Comments
That said, I often lean toward leveraged ETFs like SOXL, TSLL, and NVDL. While these are riskier than traditional ETFs, I see them as a way to amplify exposure to sectors or companies I already have conviction in. It lets me capture more upside while still being diversified within that theme.
When I pick ETFs, I focus on liquidity, costs, and whether the fund truly delivers on its strategy. Still, the ETF space has become overwhelming—too many funds with similar names and overlapping strategies. At the end of the day, I stick to a few ETFs that fit my purpose, rather than getting lost in the sea of choices.

When selecting ETFs, I value three characteristics most: the first is the size and liquidity of the fund. Large scale and active transactions can reduce the bid-ask spread; The second is the expense ratio. Even a 0.1% difference in long-term holding will open the income; The third is tracking error and component transparency. I will carefully check whether the structure of constituent stocks conforms to my own industry judgment. In contrast, when buying stocks, I pay more attention to the business model, profitability and management execution of the company.
Faced with thousands of ETFs in the market, there are indeed more and more choices, and sometimes there is a feeling of "dazzling". My response is to set clear asset allocation goals first, then decide the ratio of broad base to theme according to risk tolerance, and finally only compare within the target range. In this way, even if new products emerge in an endless stream, they will not fall into an endless choice dilemma.
