During 2024, exchange traded funds have attracted near record levels of inflows as they continue to cement their position as go-to asset for a vast range of investment mandates.  During the first half of the year, financial markets were led by the performance of big tech stocks and the AI revolution.  Main index equities hit multiple all-time highs, increasing both valuations and flows into main index tracker ETFs.  Heading into the summer months, a rotation into small cap stocks has taken hold, boosting flows into small cap funds to all-time highs.  Flows continue to mount into Asian ETFs, as semiconductor and tech stocks maintain their appeal amongst local investors and after the SEC recently approved both Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, crypto ETFs have attracted an impressive level of AUM.  Heading into the second half of the year, market conditions are starting to change.  Volatility is growing and flows have been shifting.  Innovation continues to play a major role in the market and investors have been responding.

Please join us as we discuss and review the ETF flows for the first half of the year.  We will also be discussing the most recent trends that are taking place across the industry with a group of market experts.  Connor Stack, Director of Fixed income EFT Product Strategy and Nikolay Rashkov, Vice President ETF Capital markets at Blackrock will be with us to discuss and analyse market trends during H1 2024 and John Hooson, Managing Director, ETF Product, will be present to add further context using data collected through BBH’s 2024 global ETF investor survey.
