BetaShares Australian ETF Review-October 2018-Look beyond the headlines & record trading value!

November 14, 2018--Dramatic sharemarket falls caused the Australian ETF industry to fall in value, declining 3.2% ($1.3B) to end the month at $40.8B. That said, observers of the industry need to look beyond the headline AuM figure which was caused entirely by asset value depreciation, as net flows were, in fact, positive, with the industry taking in $760m of new money.

Perhaps even more strikingly, the industry recorded its highest ever trading value in the month of October. Read on for details of the month in ETFs.

The authorities are already pursuing several pro-rebalancing policies which could be expanded to support each dimension of rebalancing while reducing trade-offs between them.
