Year-to-date global ETF flows were close to EUR300 billion which split almost equally between equity and fixed income. This is the first-time fixed income flows have matched equity flows, the firm says.
Since the beginning of the year, European UCITS equity ETFs gained EUR33.6 billion with emerging market equities the most popular (EUR13.4 billion) and World indices gaining EUR11.8 billion. ESG equities gained EUR15.4bn year-to-date, almost matching the EUR18.2 billion allocated to traditional equity strategies.
Amundi writes that year-to-date European UCITS fixed income ETFs flows almost matched equity flows at EUR32.6 billion with government debt the most popular gaining EUR16.3 billion while investment-grade corporate debt added EUR10.4 billion. ESG fixed income strategies gained EUR6.8 billion, a much lower level than the EUR25.8 billion allocated to traditional fixed income strategies.
