LONDON —June 24, 2020 — ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm covering trends in the global ETFs/ETPs ecosystem, reported today that ETFs and ETPs listed in Europe reported net inflows of US$10.59 billion during May, bringing year-to-date net inflows to US$21.33 billion which is significantly less than the US$38.51 billion gathered at this point in 2019. Assets invested in the European ETFs/ETPs industry have increased by 4.6%, from US$928.33 billion at the end of May, to US$971.21 billion, according to ETFGI's May 2020 European ETFs and ETPs industry landscape insights report, an annual paid-for research subscription service.

Highlights
- Assets invested in the European ETFs/ETPs industry reach $971.21 billion at the end of May the 5thhighest on record.
- ETFs/ETPs listed in Europe reported net inflows of US$10.59 billion during May.
- Fixed Income ETFs/ETPs attracted the biggest part of net inflows in Europe with $6.46 billion.
- Commodity ETFs/ETPs gathered year-to-date net inflows of $14.26 billion, much higher than the $710 million had attracted by this time last year.
“The S&P 500 gained 4.8% in May and remains only 5.0% down from its level at the beginning of the year, as markets anticipated relief from a COVID-19-driven economic slowdown. Developed markets outside the U.S. were also up 4.8% for the month with Sweden (up 9.9%) and Germany (up 9.2%) the top performers, while Hong Kong (down 7.7%), was the only market to be down for the month due to recent political turmoil. Emerging markets lagged during the month, gaining 1.3% as the economic impact of virus shutdowns remains somewhat more uncertain compared to developed regions.” According to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner, founder and owner of ETFGI.
