Detlef Glow, Head of EMEA Research at Refinitiv Lipper, comments: “The European ETF industry enjoyed inflows over the course of December 2022. These inflows occurred in a volatile market environment. The market sentiment is driven by concerns about high inflation rates, increasing interest rates, the late effects from the market turmoil in UK government bonds, geopolitical tensions, and disrupted delivery chains caused by the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
