Virtually non-existent five years ago in Europe, actively managed ETFs (listed funds) are experiencing rapid growth on a global scale. Research firm ETFGI counts their net subscriptions at $27.5 billion during the month of May, worldwide. For comparison, in a previous study, the listed management specialist established that in Europe, the essentially passive ETF and ETP industry had collected $25.5 billion in this month alone.
Since the start of this year, a little more than 125 billion dollars have been injected into active listed vehicles on a global scale compared to 59.6 billion over the same period of 2023. This market recorded in May, its 50
th
consecutive month of net collection.
Equity strategies collected $16.2 billion in net inflows in May, bringing year-to-date inflows to $74.3 billion. Active bond ETFs, meanwhile, collected $10.45 billion, or $43.3 billion since last January.
Record
At the end of May, their outstanding amounts reached a new record at 889 billion dollars compared to 840 billion posted the previous month, an increase of more than 20% since the beginning of the year which started at 739 billion. To date, 449 providers have launched worldwide on this market segment and have built an offer of 2,612 actively managed ETFs, listed on 37 stock exchanges in 29 countries.
The top 20 active ETFs/ETPs collectively raised nearly $10.5 billion in May. Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF (JAAA US) alone collects 1.4 billion.
