ETF Snapshot: All Asset Classes Record Positive Flows

ETF Watch
In the week ending 20 October, all asset classes saw positive flows, according to data from TrackInsight, with US equities continued to lead the way after the US Senate approved President Donald Trump's ambitious tax reforms.
As a result, US large-cap ETFs saw the strongest demand from investors, recording inflows of €6.7bn, while small caps and global stocks also saw strong sales of €1.7bn and €1.8bn respectively.
Trump's reforms, which were approved by the Senate on 19 October, will see corporation tax cut to 20% from 35% and almost entirely end taxation on non-US earnings.
The bill, which will be implemented in the 2018 fiscal year, was subsequently passed by the House of Representatives on 26 October and is expected to give a boost to the US stockmarket.
Emerging stocks built on the strong €2.4bn inflows of the previous week, taking in €1.2bn, while European and Asian large-cap ETFs were also in the black with €439m and €47m respectively.
In the fixed income space, investment grade bonds recorded the highest inflows with €2bn, while government bonds inflows totalled €820m.
High yield bonds were also back in the black during week, with €377m inflows, while emerging bonds took in €137m, also an improvement from the previous week.
TrackInsight's data covers both US and European-listed ETFs that in combination make up around 70% of the total market.
