DB Global Equity Index & ETF Research :Emerging markets steam ahead as ETF launches reach record high

December 3, 2010--Investment Outlook:
Emerging markets continue to benefit from domestic Euro-zone uncertainty
The impact of the Irish bailout continued to run its course on the equity markets across Europe for the week that ended on November 26 2010
All major equity indices lost ground with the Euro Stoxx 50 index leading the decline, registering a decrease of 3.7%. The CAC 40 index lost 3.4% and the FTSE 100 was down by 1.1%. The DAX defied the declining trend and held its ground by rising 0.1%. Gold (US$/oz) also benefited and saw its price rise by 0.8% to $1,352.9.

The European ETP industry cash flows totaled €522 million. Both ETFs and ETCs saw net inflows of €314 million and €208 million respectively (versus €58 and €5 million last week). European ETF domestic cash flow patterns remained subdued, showing no significant change in investor mood from the prior two weeks.

Euro-zone concerns continued to generate flows that broadly reflected market return patterns. Investors took money out of declining European equity indices, generating mild outflows (€200 million). Emerging market benchmarked ETFs were the biggest beneficiaries, they received upwards of €300 million, bringing the total European emerging market ETF inflows to an astounding €7.5 billion year to date. Conversely, European benchmarked equity ETFs, including sectors, registered roughly half of the emerging market inflows (€3.8 billion year to date).

Commodities had a good week, raising close to a quarter of a billion Euros (€253 million vs. €81 million inflow during previous week). Gold saw a revival in its fortunes by netting inflows of €143 million, while broad commodity benchmarked ETFs also saw inflows of €55 million.

Product Launch Calendar:

A very strong week, with a new issuer entering the European market

New Products:

Hedge fund & equity sector benchmarked ETFs define the calendar

As the year draws to a close, new ETF launches continued unabated. A total of thirteen new ETFs by three providers were launched in the past week, bringing the total new ETPs in 2010 to 347. This is by far the strongest launch year since the creation of the European ETF industry.

The majority of the new ETFs were issued by Deutsche Bank’s db x-trackers and they were comprised of one hedge fund and ten equity sector benchmarked ETFs. The hedge fund ETF is benchmarked to an index that is intended to reflect the total return performance of an exposure to a portfolio of hedge funds operating equity hedge and equity market neutral strategies, which can take both long and short positions in order to generate positive returns. The sector benchmarked ETFs track a variety of MSCI World sector specific indices. All db x-trackers ETFs were launched on Deutsche Boerse.

This week saw the entry of a new issuer in the ETF market, Goldman Sachs Asset Management. The provider debuted on Deutsche Boerse with the launch of an ETF that tracks an alternative benchmark named the Absolute Return Tracker Index. The ETF is seeking to replicate the investment returns of hedge fund betas (market exposure) by investing (both long and short) in a number of asset classes, such as equity, fixed income and commodities.

UBS launched an ETF tracking the price of silver on the Swiss Stock Exchange.

New Listings/Share Classes

A total of 35 cross-listings took place during the week, 17 by Deutsche Bank on Spain’s BME and Italy’s Borsa Italiana, 14 by Lyxor on the Swiss Stock Exchange, 3 by UBS on the Swiss Stock Exchange and 1 by Blackrock on Deutsche Borse. A full listing of this week’s cross-listed products can be found on page 5 of this report.

On-exchange turnover:

Sharp rise led by equity trading

Average rolling 22-day on-exchange ETP turnover rose by 7.7%, to €2.18 billion. Equity ETF turnover led the rise, with an increase of 10.5% over the prior week, to €1.6 billion. Commodity turnover also rose, by 2.7%, reaching €338 million. Fixed Income ETF turnover declined by 3.3%, to €211 million.

Assets Under Management (AUM)

European ETP assets rose by 0.6%, finishing the week at €218.0 billion. Positive cash flows off-set the impact of equity market losses, thus enabling ETF AUM to rise by €300 million, reaching €199.8 billion. ETC assets rose by 5.2%, reaching €18.2 billion, largely supported by the rising price of gold and positive commodity flows. Year to date, European ETP AUM are up by 28.4%.

Growth indicator points to two-speed eurozone

December 3, 2010-- Private sector manufacturing and services output hit three-month highs each across the eurozone in November, but a two-speed pattern was increasingly evident, a key survey showed Friday.

The big three economies of Germany, France and Italy led progress but Ireland posted only modest growth and the figures for Spain indicated a third successive month of contraction, according to the purchasing managers' index (PMI).

The indicator of industrial and services activity rose to 55.5 points in November after falling to 53.8 points in October, which was an eight-month low. Any reading above 50 points signals growth.
