Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, July 2018
August 20, 2018--The promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed net inflows for July. These inflows-in combination with a positive market environment-led to increasing assets under management in the European ETF industry. In more detail, the assets under management in the European ETF industry increased-from £662.0 bn (as of June 30, 2018) to £677.5 bn at the end of July 2018.
The increase of £15.5 bn for July was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (+£11.3 bn), while net sales contributed a positive £4.2 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 (£486.2 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (£159.7 bn), commodity products (£20.2 bn), “other” funds (£6.3 bn), money market funds (£3.6 bn), mixed-asset funds (£1.0 bn), and alternative UCITS products (£0.4 bn).
