Lyxor’s ETF report for February shows that European ETF market flows for February 2015 came very close to last month’s three year record high with NNA over the month totalling EUR10.4 billion and total assets under management up 17 per cent versus the end of 2014, reaching EUR424 billion.
Lyxor also reported that Equity ETF inflows were close to January 2015’s three-year record high, standing at EUR 6.2 billion. The firm reports that the QE outlook in Europe drove investors to choose European equity ETFs, which saw inflows of EUR5.3 billion, while US equity ETFs saw their first month of outflows in three years, totalling EUR682 million.
Lyxor commented that in an environment characterised by reduced deflationary fears and a recovery of oil prices, emerging equity ETFs rallied with inflows of EUR568 million, following two months of significant outflows.
