European-listed ETFs total €1.2trn assets under management (AUM).
ETFs in Europe have continued their meteoric rise with a record €48.2bn inflows in Q1 2021.
According to a recent survey, 57% of respondents are using ETFs to replace active mutual funds, up from 39% in 2020.
With issuers launching ETFs at record rates, investors now have a huge arsenal of products at their disposal to build the perfect portfolio. However, as ETFs become more complex, choosing the right product is more important than ever. This panel will explore the key factors to take into account such as liquidity, tracking error and index selection.
Markets have had a strong start to the year with the cyclical rebound taking shape as economies begin to emerge out of nation-wide lockdowns. However, there are many risks investors need to consider such as a spike in inflation or a delay in the vaccine rollouts. How should investors be positioned as we enter the post-COVID-19 era of investing?
2020 was certainly the year of sustainable investing with ESG ETFs posting a 137% increase in assets from the year previous. As more and more sustainable ETFs hit the market, this panel will analyse the opportunities and pitfalls to look for when examining this rapidly developing market.
Fixed income ETFs passed their biggest stress test during the extreme volatility last March leading to more institutional investors using the wrapper as both a liquidity management tool and for strategic asset allocation purposes. This panel will explore the shift in fixed income ETF usage while examining where future innovation is needed to meet investor demand.
Despite business plans being put on hold by coronavirus in H1 2020, ETF issuers were still active in bringing innovative strategies to market. Thematics, ESG and fixed income are all areas where investors are demanding the latest trend or more specific exposures. This panel will discuss some of these themes and where further innovation is needed.
The European ETF industry appears in good health following the stress test in March 2020, however, the landscape is becoming more competitive with new players entering the market. What are the key trends to look for over the next five years and how are ETF issuers adapting to the post-COVID-19 environment?
The exponential rise of ETFs has led to regulators taking a keen interest in the industry. There have been some crucial developments over the last few years including the introduction of MiFID II, non-transparent ETFs and the incoming CSDR directive in 2022. How are regulators responding to the concerns highlighted by the industry around these and other topics?
Regulator and industry body concerns around ETFs appeared to calm after the ETF wrapper showed its resilience during the coronavirus turmoil, however, fragmentation issues continue to hamper ETF liquidity in Europe. What are the big challenges facing the ETF market and what steps are needed to improve market structure?
The ETF industry has been at the forefront of financial services in tackling gender equality issues aided by organisations such as Women In ETFs, however, there is still a long way to go. What can the ETF industry do more to tackle diversity issues?
