ETF Barometer-June 2017

July 6, 2017--European ETF market flows continued their sustained upward trend in June. Net New Assets (NNA) over the month totalled EUR8.5bn

Total ETF Assets under Management are up 12% vs. the end of 2016, reaching EUR578bn and including a positive market impact of 2%. For the first time since September 2016, Fixed Income ETFs generated more NNA than Equity ETFs.

Equity ETF inflows pulled back at EUR4bn. Export-driven countries and sectors were sold off in Europe as the euro surged. In this context, European equity ETF inflows decreased substantially at EUR860M. US equity ETFs generated EUR392M of NNA, despite mixed macroeconomic news flow. Global ETFs inflows also slowed, to EUR634M. Asia Pacific equity ETFs recorded much higher inflows of EUR866M due to perceived valuation opportunities. Emerging market equity ETFs sustained inflows of EUR1.4bn. Once again, these flows were almost exclusively focused on broad-based ETFs, rather than single countries. Smart beta ETF inflows amounted to EUR584M. Income-generating ETF flows were back in positive territory with EUR181M of inflows, but value ETFs experienced a slowdown at EUR294M.

House prices in Norway have increased substantially over the past two decades, including by comparison to other countries. Given the importance of the housing market to both financial and macroeconomic stability, it is essential for policymakers to monitor the extent to which house prices deviate from economic fundamentals.

This paper examines various factors driving the uptrend in house prices, with a particular focus on institutional and structural factors. The extent of a possible valuation gap is gauged empirically in the context of a cross-country panel analysis of long-run fundamental determinants of house prices using data from 20 OECD countries.
