LONDON — September 12, 2019 — ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm covering trends in the global ETF/ETP ecosystem, reported today that ETFs and ETPs listed Globally gathered net inflows of US$3.43 billion in August, bringing year-to-date net inflows to US$273.04 billion. Assets invested in the Global ETF/ETP industry have decreased by 1.6%, from US$5.74 trillion at the end of July, to US$5.65 trillion at the end of August, according to ETFGI's August 2019 Global ETF and ETP industry landscape insights report, an annual paid-for research subscription service.

Highlights
- Assets invested in the Global ETF/ETP industry stood at $5.65 trillion at the end of August.
- Asset invested in the Global ETF/ETP industry decreased by 1.6% in August.
- August 2019, ETFs/ETPs listed Globally gathered $3.43 Bn in net inflows.
“The S&P 500® slid 1.6% during August, which can be partially attributed to both the growing tensions stemming from the US/China trade talks, or lack thereof, and the sentiment placed on the inverted US yield curve. From an International standpoint, the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. BMI declined 2.5%, with the biggest decline coming out of Hong Kong (-8.0%), driven by recent protests. The S&P Emerging BMI fell 4.5% during the month, with only one riser, Egypt, up 10.5%.” According to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner, founder and owner of ETFGI.
