News came this week that European ETFs enjoyed significant inflows in January this year, despite inflows in total being hit by market volatility. Launches this week reflect growing concern on rising inflation and the hunt for yield, with Simplify offering funds that focus on hedging credit risk, BMO offering a Canadian bank income ETF, Xtrackers brings us a high yield corporate bond exposure ETF and Harbor Capital Advisors bringing us the All-Weather Inflation Focus ETF.
It’s a very different picture from the total domination of crypto and ESG that we saw last year, but both of those themes still appear in the launches list, with GSAM launching a clean energy equity ETF and Valour bringing out Polkadot and Cardano ETPs on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
