2 August 2017

LONDON — August 2, 2017 — ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm on trends in the global ETF/ETP ecosystem, reported today that assets invested in ETFs/ETPs listed in Japan have increased by 26.7% from US$173.30 Bn to reach a new record of US$219.60 Bn in the first half of 2017, according to ETFGI’s June 2017 Japanese ETF and ETP industry insights report, an annual paid for research subscription service.

At the end of June 2017, the Japanese ETF/ETP industry had 188 ETFs/ETPs, with 233 listings, assets of US$220 Bn, from 21 providers listed on 2 exchanges.

“Equity markets have performed well in the first half of 2017: the S&P 500 gained 9.34%, international equity markets outside the US were up 14.27% and emerging markets were up 16.69%. Political risks remain a focus for investors - the ability of the Trump administration to move forward on policy goals and hearings on Capitol Hill, Brexit negotiations, and North Korea is still an area of concern.” According to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner at ETFGI.

Equity ETFs/ETPs gathered net inflows of US$2.61 Bn in June, bringing year to date net inflows to record level of US$30.07 Bn, which is greater than the net inflows of US$14.20 Bn over the same period last year.

Fixed income ETFs and ETPs experienced net outflows of US$1 Mn in June, reducing year to date net inflows to US$28 Mn, which is less than the same period last year which saw net inflows of US$41 Mn.

Commodity ETFs/ETPs accumulated net inflows of US$87 Mn in June. Year to date, net inflows are at US$70 Mn, which is greater than the net inflows of US$21 Mn over the same period last year.

Nomura AM gathered the largest net ETF/ETP inflows in June with US$2.03 Bn, followed by Nikko AM with US$1.01 Bn and Daiwa with US$245 Mn net inflows.
