BlackRock's ETP Landscape Industry Highlights December 31, 2012 - Record-Breaking Flows Into ETPs In 2012

The ETP Landscape: Monthly Highlights Report provides a snapshot of exchange traded products (ETP)assets and net flows at a combined global level and various regional levels as of the most recent month-endperiod. All currency values are denominated in US dollars. Our terminology has changed from prior reports inthat ETP is now a catch-all term for any portfolio exposure product that trades on an exchange.

The global ETP industry attracted record-breaking annual flows of $262.7bn in 2012, eclipsing the previous annual record of $259.7bn set in 2008.

	Fixed Income and Emerging Markets Equity ETPs were key differentiators in 2012 with both categories setting new annual flows records at $70.0bn and $54.8bn, respectively.
	Assets ended the year at $1.9 billion, 27 percent higher than a year earlier.

Notwithstanding angst over the US Fiscal Cliff, ETP investors followed a traditional risk-on pattern in December favoring US Large Cap and Emerging Market Equities while withdrawing funds from US Treasury ETPs.
