NET NEW<br \/>\nASSETS (NNA) during this month amounted to EUR4.7bn<\/strong>, still 21%<br \/>\nabove the one-year monthly average level. Total Assets under Management<br \/>\nare up 7% vs. the end of 2015, reaching EUR481bn, including a slight rise in<br \/>\nthe market (+3.9%*). Emerging Market and investment grade corporate bond<br \/>\nETFs gathered most in this environment of heightened uncertainty. <\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Equity ETF inflows were significant at EUR2.1bn, continuing the trend of the last two<br \/>\nmonths.<\/strong> On developed markets, flows were limited at EUR339M. Positive news in the US economic<br \/>\ndata helped sustain strong inflows of EUR1.2bn. However, in Europe the less positive economic data<br \/>\nprompted outflows of EUR1.1bn from European ETFs. Emerging Market equity ETFs continued their<br \/>\nrebound with inflows of EUR1.5bn. Flows were focused on broad index exposures, which would<br \/>\nsuggest that investors were taking a tactical position ahead of the FED\u2019s decision on rates. Smart<br \/>\nBeta ETF flows lost momentum, gaining just EUR435M in new assets after hitting a one-year record<br \/>\nhigh in July. This month, Smart Beta investors favoured dividend and factor allocation products over<br \/>\nminimum variance ETFs in their search for yield and alternative sources of return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Fixed income ETF inflows almost halved in August to EUR2.7bn compared to July,<br \/>\nclose to their one-year monthly average.<\/strong> On developed countries, flows were mainly focused<br \/>\ntowards investment grade corporate bond ETFs, which saw EUR1.4bn of new assets following<br \/>\nsustained ECB action. Emerging Market Debt continued to see some inflows of EUR833M although<br \/>\nat a slower pace than the one-year record high reached in July of EUR2bn, which was fuelled by<br \/>\nthe very low\/zero interest rate environment and investors\u2019 hunt for yield. The rebound in High yield<br \/>\nBond ETFs of July was short lived with EUR62M of outflows in August. Interestingly, flows on<br \/>\ninflation-linked ETFs reached a one-year record high with inflows of EUR546M. Flows here were<br \/>\nmainly on US exposures as economic growth seems to accelerate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> <strong>Commodity ETF flows halted with EUR76M of outflows, which compares<\/strong> to the oneyear record high of EUR1.1bn reached in July.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.next-finance.net\/http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" aligncenter size-full wp-image-55658\" src=\"IMG\/jpg\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_.jpg\" alt=\"european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_.jpg\" align=\"center\" width=\"975\" height=\"579\" \/><\/a><div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-55660 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-herald-lay-c1'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"herald-popup\" href='http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_.jpg'><img width=\"470\" height=\"313\" src=\"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-470x313.jpg\" class=\"attachment-herald-lay-c1 size-herald-lay-c1\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-470x313.jpg 470w, http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-414x276.jpg 414w, http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-640x426.jpg 640w, http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-130x86.jpg 130w, http:\/\/beta.next-finance.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/european_etfs_in_au_gust_2016_-_net_inflows_eurm_-187x124.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>European ETF Market flows slowed in August 2016.
