Lipper-Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, January 2017
February 20, 2017--he promoters of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) enjoyed net inflows for January. These net inflows, in spite of negative market impacts, led to increased assets under management in the European ETF industry (€523.9 bn) for January, up from €514.8 bn at the end of December. The increase of €9.1 bn for January was completely driven by net sales (+€10.7 bn), while the negative performance of the markets subtracted €1.6 bn from the assets under management in the ETF segment.
