Industry starts the year slowly, product development continues.
The ETF industry took a rare pause in its growth trajectory in the first month in 2017, with the industry ending the month at $25.2 B – slightly down on the industry’s record level set in December. Total funds under management reduced $521m although virtually all of this was related to market movements (rather than results of net outflows).
