A growing number of mutual funds are converting to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), providing more tax efficiency for investors. Since early 2021, over 70 mutual funds have converted to ETFs, with more conversions expected in the future.

While conversions are still relatively rare, they have been seen mostly in smaller mutual funds worth around $100 million or less. Future conversions are likely to occur in smaller, actively managed mutual funds outside of 401(k) accounts.

Overall, ETFs have evolved over the years and are now a viable option for investors looking to optimize their portfolios.
