The European ETF Market: Review Q1-2013- Recent Trends & Challenges Ahead -from Lipper

June 7, 2013--The European ETF industry appears to be in good shape, according to the latest Lipper analysis.
Highlights follow below:
Assets under management (AuM) grew by 38.89 billion Euros, 14.37%, over the twelve month period (31.03.2012-31.03.2013) up to 309.48 billion Euros and by 4.36% or 12.92 billion Euros during Q1 2013.

The number of ETFs (across all share classes) increased by 22 to 1782. Even with the broad variety of funds available for investors in Europe, the European ETF market is highly concentrated in terms of assets under management; only 54 of the 1782 ETFs hold assets above 1 billion Euros.

As expected the majority of these funds are equity funds (32), followed by bond funds (11), commodity funds (8 gold, 1 silver), as well as money market funds (1) and real estate linked equity funds (1).

The largest ETF in Europe is the iShares DAX, which holds 4.45% of the overall AuM.

The top 10 ETFs by assets under management account for 24.47% of the overall AuM, while the 54 ETFs with more than one billion Euros in assets under management account for 51.70% of the overall AuM.

“The number of new ETFs in Q1 2013 is rather small compared with launch activity over the last five years. But as the number of fund launches has decreased since Q3-2012, the launch pattern for European ETFs might have changed in general. One reason could be reflected in the high number of asset classes already covered by ETFs, leaving only a few untapped opportunities on the ETF landscape which have yet to be covered."

Market losses continue, bond yields surge after PM's remarks on protests

June 6, 2013--June 6, 2013--Turkey's main benchmark index and the domestic currency continued to plunge after a one-day recovery due to ongoing violent street protests over an urban development program in the country's financial capital İstanbul.

The losses mainly stemmed from statements by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan late on Thursday when he was expected to soften his position on the protests but failed to. The Bourse İstanbul was down 4,7 percent through the end of the afternoon session on Thursday at 75.895, its lowest in more than two months. The Turkish lira lost value against the US dollar and the euro. One US dollar was traded at TL 1.89 and a euro at TL 2.48. Turkey's benchmark two-year yield surged 28 basis points to 6.70 percent. Thursday also saw this week's second-worst decline in markets after Monday's more-than-10-percent loss.
