The BlackRock ETP Landscape series of reports provides commentary on the global Exchange Traded Product (ETP) industry as of February 2015.
2015 ETP Flows Off To Best Start Ever After Accelerating In February
- Global ETP flows of $50.0bn represented the fourth best month on record and lifted the year-to-date total to $62.3bn, with investors increasingly favoring non-U.S. equity and corporate bonds over relatively safer categories
- Pan-European equity exposures brought in a new monthly high of $8.9bn and year-to-date flows have already exceeded the peak from last year, helped by the ECB bond purchase announcement and a weakening euro
- Fixed income flows strengthened to $17.8bn led by a new monthly record of $5.2bn for high yield corporate bonds as the search for yield intensified
