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

July 16, 2018--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for June. However, these inflows were not enough to offset the negative market impacts. As a result the assets under management in the European ETF industry decreased from €665.8 bn (as of May 3, 2018) to €660.4 bn at the end of June 2018.

The decrease of €5.4 bn for June was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (-€6.3 bn), while net sales contributed a positive €0.9 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 (€471.5 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€156.5 bn), commodity products (€21.3 bn), "other" funds (€6.5 bn), money market funds (€3.4 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.7 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).

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

July 9, 2018--After the announcement on July 3, 2018, of the takeover of the Commerzbank Equities Markets and Commodities (EMC) unit by Societe Generale, some market observers are speaking about possible further consolidation in the European ETF industry.

There are also concerns that the concentration of the market is increasing further, since this takeover means that ComStage (the ETF promoter of Commerzbank) might now become integrated into Lyxor ETF (the ETF promoter of Societe Generale).

But are these fears of increasing concentration actually justified, and is the European ETF industry really in a consolidation mode?

At first look both assumptions seem to be correct, since this recent takeover means there is one fewer active promoter in the European market. But, as I have written in several market reviews, I don’t see a real consolidation. There are always new market entries into the European ETF market, and real consolidation would mean the number of ETF promoters would actually shrink over a longer period, 12 months or even longer.
