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

September 24, 2018--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for August. These inflows led-in spite of a negative market environment-to increasing assets under management in the European ETF industry.

In more detail, the assets under management in the European ETF industry increased from €670.1 bn (as of July 31, 2018) to €671.7 bn at the end of August 2018.

The increase of €1.7 bn for August was driven by net sales (+€2.3 bn), while the performance of the underlying markets contributed a negative €0.7 bn to the assets under management in the European ETF segment.

With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€484.8 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€158.6 bn), commodity products (€19.2 bn), "other" funds (€4.8 bn), money market funds (€2.8 bn), mixed-asset funds (€1.0 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).

What drives the use of CDS by EU investment funds?

September 20, 2018--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), in a study carried out on data reported under EMIR, finds that funds that are part of a large group are more likely to use credit default swaps (CDS).

IMF United Kingdom: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2018 Article IV Mission

September 17, 2018--Outlook and Risks
Despite strong policy frameworks and implementation, growth has moderated since the European Union referendum in June 2016. Uncertainty over the terms of the EU withdrawal has weighed on private sector activity. Above-target inflation following the sharp post-referendum sterling depreciation has slowed real income and consumption growth.

Business investment has been lower than would be expected in the context of robust global growth and favorable financing conditions. The softening of domestic demand was partially offset by a higher contribution from net exports, supported by weaker sterling and strong external demand. Overall, growth fell to about 1¾ percent in 2016-17, moving the United Kingdom from the top to near the bottom of the G7 growth tables. The employment rate, however, continues to reach record highs.
