Monday Morning Memo: 2018 was an outstanding year for ETFs in Europe

January 21, 2019--The year 2018 was an outstanding year for exchange-traded funds even though it was a tough year for the European fund industry overall. The return of volatility caused by uncertainties coming from a possible trade war between the USA and China, the ongoing Brexit discussions, and a possible return of the euro crisis after the forming of a government in Italy led European investors to reduce the risk in their portfolios.

The corresponding transactions led to overall outflows of -129.2 billion euro from mutual funds registered for sale in Europe over the course of 2018. In contrast to their actively managed peers (-171.4 billion euro), ETFs registered for sale in Europe enjoyed inflows of 42.2 billion euro and had another positive year.

Review of the European ETF Market, December 2018

January 18, 2019--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for December. Nevertheless, the assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased as the inflows were not able to offset the negative performance of the underlying markets. In more detail, the assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased from €666.1 bn as of November 30, 2018, to €633.1 bn at the end of December.

The decrease of €33.0 bn for December was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (-€35.3 bn), while net sales contributed inflows of €2.3 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 (€437.5 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€166.4 bn), commodity products (€18.2 bn), “other” funds (€5.2 bn), money market funds (€4.5 bn), mixed asset funds (€1.0 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).
