According to ETFGI’s November 2017 Active ETF and ETP industry insights report, an annual paid-for research subscription service, assets invested in Active ETFs and ETPs grew by 53.4% year-to-date, the greatest annual increase since 2009 when markets recovered following the 2008 financial crisis, and an increase of 11.7% on the previous record of US$65.77 Bn set in October 2017.
Year-to-date, through end of November 2017, Active ETFs and ETPs listed in globally saw record net inflows of US$23.73 Bn; 141.2% more than net inflows for the whole of 2016, and more than double that of the previous YTD record for the same period of US$8.40 Bn set in November 2016. November 2017 also marked the 35th consecutive month of net inflows into ETFs/ETPs, with US$2.87 Bn gathered during the month.
