GLOBAL ETP FLOWS ACCELERATE IN SEPTEMBER ON STRENGTH IN SHORT MATURITY FIXED INCOME 

  • Global ETPs gathered $28.4bn in September driven by the best fixed income flows since February as investors weighed the Fed’s decision to leave rates unchanged 
  • Fixed Income drew in $11.6bn, with almost half of all flows in short maturity products which are less-impacted by rising rates, fueled by Treasuries and a rebound in investment grade corporate bonds 
  • U.S. equities brought in $11.2bn across large and small caps, concentrated in the period before the Fed announcement and trailing off in the second half of the month amid increased policy uncertainty 
  • Non-U.S. developed markets equities continue to gather assets as prospects for more reforms drove flows of $6.2bn to Japan exposures and better economic data in Europe boosted pan-European equity flows to $2.8bn 
  • Emerging markets equity funds shed ($3.2bn) as economic news out of China continues to weigh on China equity and other Asia country equity fund flows
