Lipper Alpha Insight-Monday Morning Memo: Alternative Strategies and ETFs
November 6, 2017--ETFs have written a success story in Europe over the past 15 years, and the market does not yet seem to be oversaturated.
Instead, the opposite seems to be true: the European ETF industry has witnessed a number of new players in the market, despite there being high competition in general in the European ETF market, and some market observers suppose that a number of ETF promoters are not at all profitable."That said, there is a sweet spot (the "smart beta segment") where the competition is not that high and the pressure on management fees is quite low. Fund promoters can differentiate themselves there by using particular factors or by the way they structure the underlying indices for their ETFs.
