Monday Morning Memo: Review of the European ETF Market, December 2016
January 16, 2017--The promoters of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) enjoyed net inflows for December. Positive market impacts in combination with net inflows led to increased assets under management in the European ETF industry (€514.5 bn) for December, up from €495.8 bn at the end of November.
The increase of €18.7 bn for December was mainly driven by the performance of the markets (+€13.8 bn), while net sales contributed €5.0 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 (€356.4 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€132.0 bn), commodity products (€15.9 bn), "other" funds (€6.5 bn), money market funds (€2.9 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.4 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).
