Amundi ETF Trend Report
January 30, 2018--The European ETF market set a new record in 2017 with subscriptions reaching 94 bn€. Two very different trends can be observed, however, depending on the asset class: on the one hand equities, which account for nearly 70% of flows, with a fairly broad distribution of the inflows; and on the other, the bonds for which investors have focused on a few categories.
On the equity side Europe is the winner, with more than a third of the net new assets. The confirmation of the return of GDP growth and the easing of uncertainty on the future of the Eurozone were the main drivers of this movement. Global equities, the United States and emerging markets also benefited from 2017’s record flows, as they all garnered more than 10 bn€ in subscriptions.

Thomson Rueters-Monday Morning Memo: European Investors Show for 2017 an Increased Appetite for Risk-European Fund Industry Review, 2017
January 29, 2018--Looking at the headline figures, the year 2017 could be considered a good year for the European fund industry, since the assets under management (+€10.4 tr) hit an all-time high at the end of December. In addition, the European fund industry enjoyed a new record in net inflows (+€756.9 bn) over the course of 2017.
But not all funds and fund promoters benefited from the massive inflows into mutual funds over the course of 2017. In addition, the European fund industry witnessed an increasing number of mergers and acquisitions.

This brought the rather-small European business of Powershares into the ten top European ETF promoters by assets under management
