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.

UK funds lose $2bn in eight weeks amid Brexit deadlock

February 11, 2019--More than $2bn has been yanked from funds that invest in UK companies in just eight weeks as the political and economic fallout from Britain's departure from the European Union continues to batter investor confidence.

Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market-2018

February 11, 2019--The year 2018 was a tough year for the European fund industry. Despite headwinds from the markets and outflows from their actively managed peers, the promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows in every single month of the year 2018.

These inflows, however, were not able to offset the negative impact from the underlying markets. As a result, the assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased from €656.8 bn as of December 31, 2017, to €633.1 bn at the end of December 2018. As mentioned above, the decrease of €23.7 bn for 2018 was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (-€65.8 bn), while net sales contributed inflows of €42.2 bn to assets under management in the European ETF segment.
