Deutsche Bank Research-Asia-Pacific-Synthetic Equity & Index Strategy-Inflows to locally listed ETFs despite

October 12, 2015--Global ETF Assets retreated further but attracted strong inflows Amid bearish equity markets globally, ETP AUM reduced to $2.75 trillion at the end of September, almost flat as compared to 2014 closing levels. However, ETP flows strengthened in September totalling +$34.4bn with YTD flows nearing +$250 mark. Asia-Pac listed ETP assets closed the month at $231.3bn with 14.4% YTD gain, highest among all the regions.

Global investor positioning:
Continue to prefer broad DM/Europe but bearish on country focus/ broad EM

We see clear trend that investors continue to favor broad DM, especially Europe, while bearish on EM. Based on ETFs listed offshore, most of the DM and EM countries experienced outflows in September, primarily from Japan, India and South Korea focused ETFs recording outflows of -$489, -$269 and -$241mn respectively.

Japan focused ETFs experienced outflows for the first time since January this year amid weakening Japanese equity markets and strengthening Yen during last one and a half months. India focused ETFs saw outflows for third consecutive month while outflows from China focused ETFs have slowed down in the past few weeks, as the market seems to be stabilized.

China A-share ETFs saw inflows in September after significant outflows this year

Among offshore China ETFs, we have seen divergent flow trend for ETFs focus on A-share vs H-share since the launch of Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect in November last year: A-share ETFs have been hit by significant outflows and H-share ETFs have attracted significant inflow. This trend has reversed during last couple of months with A-shares recording positive flows of +$70mn and +$162mn in August and September respectively, while H-shares saw outflows of c.-$250mn in each of the last two months.
