Fund assets have increased at an annual average rate of around 90 percent within the last ten years thanks to a continuous inflow of funds. Assets under management totaled a record €134.6 billion at the end of March. The growth has been driven by increasing recognition and the variety of uses for ETFs, which can be used in a growing number of markets and regions thanks to numerous new product launches.
