New Lipper ETF Report Q3-2010
December 2, 2010--Executive Summary
Assets under management (AUM) in the pan-European exchange-traded funds (ETF) segment continued to show a
growth pattern over third quarter 2010, gaining 5.80% to 197.06 billion euros—a surprising inflow because of movements in the global stock markets. Analysis of the individual asset classes
shows that only money market ETFs had decreasing AUM, while all other asset classes enjoyed rising AUM.
The average monthly turnover in euros for third quarter 2010 surprisingly was down 30.88%—from 51.41 billion euros for
second quarter 2010 to 35.54 billion euros for third quarter 2010. While looking at these numbers, one needs to bear in mind that the numbers for Q2-2010 were driven by a new all-time high in on-exchange turnover in May 2010.
This report shows that the ETF segment remained in general very concentrated; the five largest exchanges accounted for 90.76% of the average quarterly on-exchange turnover, while the five largest promoters accounted for 76.97% of the AUM and the 50 largest
funds accounted for 47.58% of the total net assets in the ETF segment.
1.0 Pan-European ETF Turnover in Euros
The total turnover of ETFs traded on the exchanges within this report decreased in third quarter 2010 to a monthly average of 35.54 billion euros. This number was 30.88% lower than the turnover for second quarter 2010, but still 9.46% higher than the turnover for third quarter 2009. As the picture below depicts, trading activity normally highly correlates with market volatility. The falling volatility and rising equity markets led to lower turnover numbers on the pan-European exchanges in third quarter 2010.

December 2, 2010--In November 2010 Boerse Stuttgart, according to its order book statistics, had a turnover of almost EUR 9.3 billion, an increase of almost 20 percent in a month-on-month comparison. Trading volumes from January up until and including November amounted to around EUR 86.4 billion.

The lion's share of turnover in this trading segment was generated by corporate bonds where trading volumes in November amounted to EUR 1.55 billion. The approximately 30 percent growth in turnover in comparison with the previous month partly results from trading activities in the Bondm SME segment, with two new corporate bonds from Air Berlin and 3W Power Holdings being admitted to this trading segment in November.
Boerse Stuttgart can also report a significant growth in equities trading for this month. Trading volumes here amounted to more than EUR 1.09 billion. As in the previous month, trading volumes for international equities rose significantly, by more than 33 percent. In the case of international equities, investors continued to be particularly active in trading commodities. In addition to gold and silver, rare earth equities from China attracted particularly strong demand.
The boom in exchange traded funds (EFTs) continues unabated with trading volumes on the Stuttgart Stock Exchange up by 37 percent month-on-month, rising to more than EUR 707 million. In a year-on-year comparison trading volumes for ETFs more than doubled in November.

Istanbul becomes fastest city to pull out of crisis
November 2, 2010--The Global Metro Monitor report, published by the Washington, D.C.-based Brookings Institution, has revealed that Istanbul is the city recovering the fastest from the Great Recession.
According to the report, 150 metropolitan economies have been analyzed in the wake of the global financial crisis. “Metro areas, which are economically integrated collections of cities, suburbs and often surrounding rural areas, are centers of high-value economic activity in their respective nations and worldwide. And because metros form the fundamental bases for national and international economies, understanding their relative positioning before, during and after the Great Recession provides important evidence on emerging shifts in the location of global economic resilience and future growth,” stated the report to underline the importance of metropolitan cities in national economies.
