LONDON - August 23, 2017 - ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm on trends in the global ETF/ETP ecosystem, today reported assets invested in active ETFs/ETPs listed globally reached a new record high of US$59 billion at the end of July 2017, according to data from ETFGI’s July 2017 global active ETF and ETP industry insights report.
Record levels of assets were reached at the end of July for active ETFs/ETPs listed globally with US$59.40 Bn, US$38.33 Bn in the United States, US$9.23 Bn in Canada, US$7.91 Bn in Europe and US$3.84 Bn in Asia Pacific (ex-Japan).
At the end of July 2017, the global active ETF/ETP industry had 365 ETFs/ETPs, with 433 listings, assets of US$59 Bn, from 77 providers on 20 exchanges.
In July 2017, active ETFs/ETPs saw net inflows of US$1.90 Bn. Active ETF/ETP assets have increased globally by 4.7% from US$56.75 Bn in June 2017 to US$59.40 Bn in July 2017.
“Most equity markets continued to see gains in July. The S&P 500 gained 2% with Telecom and Info Tech the top performing sectors, up 6% and 4%, respectively. International equities, and especially emerging markets, were up 3% and 6%, respectively. Political risks remain a focus for investors - the ability of the Trump administration to move forward on policy goals and hearings on Capitol Hill, Brexit negotiations, and North Korea is still an area of concern.” According to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner at ETFGI.
64.5% of the global assets in active ETFs/ETPs are 191 active products that are domiciled and listed in the United States. 72.4% of the assets in active ETFs/ETPs are 115 active fixed income products.
First Trust gathered the largest net ETF/ETP inflows in July with US$504 Mn, followed by Lyxor AM with US$271 Mn and Source with US$153 Mn net inflows.
