In the global ETF market, ultrashort bonds were the most popular strategy recording inflows of €7.4bn as investors took advantage of the yields offered by these products at minimal duration risk. Continuing the trend in fixed income from recent months, there were outflows in corporate debt and high yield strategies.

Large blend -US equity-indices gained €7.0bn, continuing the long-run trend. Japanese equities also maintained their momentum adding €3.4bn this month despite some investor concerns about valuations looking overstretched in this region.
