BIG!
November in the ETF industry was big! And not just big but BIG! November broke essentially every record I can think of: a) All time record FuM; b) Record $ monthly FuM growth; c) Record monthly $ net inflows; and d) All time highest monthly value traded. Told you it was big!
The Australian ETF total industry FuM at the month end was $35.5B, a growth rate of 6.0% or monthly growth of $2B. While asset growth provided approximately 35%, the majority came from net new money into the industry which amounted to a record $1.3B.
