February 20, 2017--he promoters of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) enjoyed net inflows for January. These net inflows, in spite of negative market impacts, led to increased assets under management in the European ETF industry (€523.9 bn) for January, up from €514.8 bn at the end of December. The increase of €9.1 bn for January was completely driven by net sales (+€10.7 bn), while the negative performance of the markets subtracted €1.6 bn from the assets under management in the ETF segment.
With regard to the overall number of products, it was not surprising that equity funds (€363.3 bn) held the majority of the assets, followed by bond funds (€132.8 bn), commodity products (€17.1 bn), “other” funds (€6.7 bn), money market funds (€3.1 bn), mixed-asset funds (€0.5 bn), and alternative UCITS products (€0.4 bn).
