European ETF and ETP asset growth as at end of July 2018
In July 2018, ETFs/ETPs listed in Europe saw net inflows of $4.60 Bn. Fixed income products gathered the largest net inflows with $2.74 Bn, while commodity ETFs/ETPs experienced the largest net outflows with $1.11 Bn. Year-to-date through end of July, ETFs/ETPs listed in Europe have seen net inflows of $37.0 Bn. Equity products gathered the largest net inflows with $24.7 Bn, while leveraged ETFs/ETPs experienced the largest net outflows with $829 Mn.
“The S&P 500 gained 3.72%, international markets ex-US were up 1.93% and emerging markets up 2.81%. Investors are still concerned about the impact of trade wars and Brexit,” according to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner and a founder of ETFGI.
Investors have tended to invest in core, market cap and lower cost ETFs during 2018, with the iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF (CSSPX SW) and iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF (EMIM LN) capturing flows of $2.19 Bn and $1.67 Bn, respectively. A high proportion of net inflows year-to-date can be attributed to the top 20 ETFs by net new assets, which collectively gathered $17.6 Bn.
