Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, January 2018

February 17, 2019--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for January. These inflows led, in combination with a positive performance of the underlying markets, to increased assets under management in the European ETF industry.

In more detail, the assets under management in the European ETF industry increased from €633.1 bn as of December 31, 2018, to €675.1 bn at the end of January. The increase of €42.0 bn for January was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (+€34.1 bn), while net sales contributed inflows of €7.9 bn to assets under management in the European ETF segment.

With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€469.9 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€175.6 bn), commodity products (€18.6 bn), "other" funds (€5.2 bn), money market funds (€4.3 bn), mixed-asset funds (€1.0 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).

ETF Money Monitor - January 2019

February 14, 2019-Net new assets in the European ETF market tripled to €7.6bn in January from the €2.5bn we saw in December.
Net new assets in the European ETF market tripled to €7.6bn in January from the €2.5bn we saw in December.

Equity flows rebounded (€1.6bn from -€1.5bn), led by strong inflows into emerging markets equities after they enjoyed their best ever start to a year (€2.4bn).

In contrast, their developed market counterparts suffered a poor start due to some significant outflows (-€2bn) from US equities. Europe equites continued their recent struggles amid all of the political and economic uncertainty (€1.3bn).

Having lagged way behind equities in 2018, fixed income ETFs enjoyed their best month ever (€6.2bn), led by developed and emerging market government bonds (€2.2bn and €2.4bn respectively). Smart Beta ETFs also enjoyed a largely positive month with net new assets of €1.4bn, led by quality strategies and income-generating ETFs. It was, in fact, the second-best month for Smart Beta over the last year. Commodity flows, however, continued their seemingly endless decline.
