DB-Synthetic Equity & Index Strategy-North America-US ETF Market Monthly Review-August Equity ETP outflows may not be as bearish as they look
September 6, 2013--Data in this report is as of Fri, Aug 30
Record outflows removed $47.3bn from US ETP assets
ETP assets in the US dropped by $47.3bn to $1.467 trillion (YTD +10.0%) last month. Global ETP industry assets closed at $1.994 trillion (YTD +8.4%)
Flows Review: Intl DM equities gain momentum, while the US takes a breather
US ETPs experienced outflows of $18.4bn during August (-1.2% of last month's AUM).
Within long-only ETPs, total flows were -$19.6bn in August vs. +$39.6bn in July. Equity, Fixed Income and Commodity long-only ETPs experienced outflows of $11.6bn, $7.7bn and $0.1bn, respectively
The $11.6bn equity outflows were led by US-focused ETPs, however if we exclude SPY's outflows (usually more tactical than strategic in nature), long-only Equity ETP flows would have been +$2.4bn; moreover, the latest SPY short interest data available shows that in the first half of August shorted shares declined by 18.5m (-7.6%) compared to a decline of 10.3m (-1.1%) in its shares outstanding; this suggests that the outflows from SPY (and hence equities) could well be from short covering rather than an outright sell-off. Because of this we believe that August outflows from equities are less bearish than they seem and should be short-lived. Meanwhile, investors' attention turned to Intl DM equities, where broad DM ex US ETPs captured $4.7bn in new cash with interest shifting from Japan (-$1.4bn) to Europe (+$4.1bn) during August. Fixed Income ETPs saw strong outflows of $7.7bn during August, Sovereign ETPs, offering mostly rates exposure, experienced historical outflows of $5.2bn; while short duration products continued to attract new assets (+$1.1bn). Last but not least, although Commodity ETPs experienced outflows of $0.1bn, these have slowed down suggesting that negative sentiment towards the asset class has been waning.
New Launch Calendar: income, MLPs, EM, fundamentals and thematic
There were fourteen new ETPs listed during the previous month. Eleven of them were listed in the NYSE Arca, while the remaining three where listed in the NASDAQ. The new products offer exposure to commodities, MLPs, EM high-yielding equities, fundamental and managed futures strategies, thematic exposure to China and the city of Nashville and a mix of asset classes with focus on income generation and diversification.
Turnover Review: Floor activity decreased by 1.4% in August
ETP turnover totaled $1.167 trillion last month, 1.4% (-$16.2bn) lower than the previous month figure of $1.184 trillion, and 0.1% below last year's monthly average of $1.168 trillion. Commodity ETPs turnover increased by $4.3bn (+10.1%); while Equity and Fixed Income ETPs turnover decreased by $17.4bn (-1.7%) and $2.5bn (-2.6%), respectively.
ETP trading made up 27.0% of all US cash equity trading in August, down from this year's peak of 32.0% in June, and still below its 3-year monthly average of 28.2%.
