Monday Morning Memo: Spotlight on the Concentration at the Promoter Level in the European ETF Industry

May 5, 2019--Investors, market observers, and regulators always raise questions about the competitiveness of the European exchange-traded fund industry since the assets under management seem to be concentrated among a few ETF promoters. Generally speaking, I would agree with the statement that one needs to be concerned if a few players are dominating a market, but not with regard to the European ETF industry.

The graph below depicts the fact that the European ETF industry is highly concentrated at the promoter level since the 10-top promoters in Europe held 93.22% of the overall assets under management (€725.2 bn) in the European ETF industry, while the other 41 promoters that have at least one ETF registered for sales in Europe only hold 6.78%. Even worse, iShares-the largest ETF promoter in Europe-accounts €335.2 bn, or 46.22%, of the overall assets under management. This is nearly as much in assets as the other nine of the 10-top promoters combined (€340.8 bn). In any other industry, such a high concentration should be concerning for regulators and clients, as this may lead to a monopoly or an oligopoly, which might bring prices up and/or the quality down.
