Global AUM in Short & Leveraged ETPs at $61.5bn as investors repositioned bearishly across equities, bonds and commodities
May 13, 2014--The AUM of short & leveraged ETPs stood at $61.5 billion at the end of April, a 1% fall from March and a 6% rise from the end of December 2013.
Outflows of $158 million from equity and fixed income ETPs were countered by inflows into commodity ETPs of $172 million. Currency and alternative ETPs also saw inflows of $33 million and $130 million, respectively.
Lacking conviction in US equities, the inflows into long and short US focused equity ETPs were balanced. Within European equities, S&L investors repositioned bullishly in Italy and Russia and bearishly in Germany, France and Sweden.
Bearish flows underpinned energy ETPs. The inflows of $116 million and $129 million into short products, coincided with outflows of $34 million and $57 million from long products of oil and natural gas, respectively.
