Trackinsight 2024 Report Provides Comprehensive Analysis Of ETF Industry

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 (Bernama) -- Trackinsight, a global leader in exchange-traded fund (ETF) research and analytics, has announced the release of its Global ETF Survey 2024 Report: ‘50+ Charts on Worldwide ETF Trends’, in partnership with J.P. Morgan Asset Management and State Street.

In a statement, Trackinsight said the fifth annual survey report, which is available for free, provided a comprehensive analysis of the ETF industry, covering trends, growth, and innovation.

It leverages Trackinsight's global database of over 10,000 exchange-traded products (ETPs) and features insights from more than 500 investment professionals managing ETF assets exceeding US$900 billion. (US$1=RM4.76)

Trackinsight Chief Executive Officer, Philippe Malaise said this year’s report underscored the vibrant expansion and the transformative potential of the ETF industry and the findings highlighted the adaptability of ETFs to market changes and investor needs.

Among the highlights drawn from the data found that in 2023, ETF assets surged to a remarkable US$11 trillion, showcasing a pattern of sustained growth, while in Asia Pacific (APAC) there was a substantial asset rebound compared to 2022; however, net flows have consistently declined since 2020.

Furthermore, active ETF strategies in North America, secured 25 per cent of the flows in 2023, bringing total category’s assets in the region to US$630 billion, and in contrast, Europe with only US$32 billion in assets, while in APAC, active ETFs witnessed a revival in interest after two years of weaker demand.

Investors are strategically expanding their allocations to diverse asset classes via ETFs, with a pronounced focus on equity and fixed income. European investors continue to prioritise environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing, and interest in active management is widespread across different regions.

The report also showed that global interest in thematic investing last year continues to be subdued when compared to the levels seen during the pandemic years.

In addition to the full report, Trackinsight and its partners are delighted to offer additional content with thought leadership articles and weekly updated industry league tables, enabling everyone to gain valuable insights into the ETF market.
