BetaShares-BetaShares Australian ETF Review-August 2017
August 12, 2017--Onwards and upwards!
The Australian ETF industry recorded another strong month of growth, with the industry rising to a fresh record high in August.
Total industry FuM at the month end was $30.9B, which is a growth of 2.2% ($842m) for the month. While asset appreciation aided industry growth, the majority (75%) of the month's growth came from net new money. Unlike most of the year so far, which has seen strong inflows into Australian equities, the category with the highest level of inflows this month was global equities, which received net inflows of $350m.
