Thomson Reuters Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, October 2017
November 20, 2017--The promoters of ETFs enjoyed net inflows for October. The assets under management in the European ETF industry (€621.9 bn) increased for October, up from €600.9 bn at the end of September. The increase of €20.9 bn for October was mainly driven by the performance of the underlying markets (+€14.4 bn), while net sales contributed €6.6 bn to the assets under management in the ETF segment.
With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€441.4 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€151.3 bn), commodity products (€18.0 bn), "other" funds (€6.7 bn), money market funds (€3.5 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.6 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).
