LSEG Lipper European ETF Industry Review for August 2026 finds that the European ETF industry enjoyed quite strong inflows over the course of August 2026.
The firm writes: “It’s possible that the flows would have reached a new record if August were not the main holiday month in Europe.
“Even though investors are somewhat risk cautious when they are out of the office, the flow numbers do tell a different story, as the flows into equity ETFs dominated the overall fund flows despite the more volatile and uncertain market environment.
“Hence, European investors were in risk-on mode over the course of the month. That said, (as usual) Equity Global and Equity US were the two best-selling Lipper classifications for the month, followed by Equity Europe. Since Equity Europe enjoyed estimated net inflows for the second consecutive month, it can be said, that the outflows for April, May and June were not the beginning of a new trend and have been reversed.”
