ETFGI reports ETFs and ETPs listed in Europe gather net inflows of US$1.39 Bn during October 2018
LONDON — November 21, 2018 — ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm covering trends in the global ETF/ETP ecosystem, reported today that ETFs and ETPs listed in Europe gathered net inflows of US$1.39 Bn during October. Following a turbulent month for financial markets, total assets invested in the European ETF and ETP industry fell 5.88% during October, from US$832 Bn at the end of September, to US$783 Bn, according to ETFGI’s October 2018 European ETF and ETP industry landscape insights report, an annual paid-for research subscription service.

Highlights
- Total Assets in ETFs and ETPs listed in Europe decline 5.88% to $783 Bn in October.
- Net new assets gathered by ETFs/ETPs listed in Europe were $1.39 Bn in October.
- 48th consecutive months of net inflows into ETFs/ETPs listed in Europe.
“Few markets managed to avoid the October sell off, as investors grew jittery at the prospects of further rate hikes from the US treasury and any hope of resolutions to trade disputes appeared to be diminishing, be it in Europe or the US. Developed and developing markets saw similar declines during the month. Aside from the US, where strong year-to-date performance cushioned the fall, October pushed many indices deeper into negative territory for the year. The S&P 500 fell 6.84% over the month, retaining a 3.1% gain year-to-date, while European markets fell 7.82%, bringing year-to-date decline to 9.56%. EM markets down 7.60% and Frontier markets down 3.36%, bringing year to date declines to 15.07% and 10.68%, respectively.” according to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner and a founder of ETFGI.
At the end of October 2018, the European ETF/ETP industry had 2,323 ETFs/ETPs, with 8,041 listings, assets of US$783 Bn, from 68 providers on 28 exchanges. Following net inflows of $1.39 Bn and market moves during the month, assets invested in ETFs/ETPs listed in Europe decreased by 5.88%, from $832 Bn at the end of September 2018, to $783 Bn.
