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.
With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€363.3 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€132.8 bn), commodity products (€17.1 bn), “other” funds (€6.7 bn), money market funds (€3.1 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.5 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).

European Commission-Winter 2017 Economic Forecast: Navigating through choppy waters
February 13, 2017--All EU Member States' economies set to grow in 2016, 2017 and 2018
Having proven resilient to global challenges last year, the European economic recovery is expected to continue this year and next: for the first time in almost a decade, the economies of all EU Member States are expected to grow throughout the entire forecasting period (2016, 2017 and 2018).
However, the outlook is surrounded by higher-than-usual uncertainty.
