During the month, the proportion of transactions processed via Tradeweb\u2019s Automated Intelligent Execution (AiEX) tool exceeded 45%, a new monthly record and significantly up from September\u2019s 39.2% figure.<\/p>\n

Adriano Pace, head of equities (Europe) at Tradeweb, said:<\/strong> \u201cWe saw ETF volumes reach new heights in October, a month that will be remembered for the surge in market volatility, notably affecting U.S. stocks. Despite the market stress, our platform metrics remained strong, and clients were able to unlock liquidity and efficiently execute their orders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Volume breakdown<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time since June, commodities were predominantly bought in October with a ratio of 59%. Overall activity in the asset class dropped to 4% of the platform flow, trailing the previous 12-month rolling average by one percentage point. In contrast, activity in equity-based ETFs climbed to 65% of the total traded volume, outstripping the previous 12-month rolling average by three percentage points. North America Equities was by far the most heavily-traded ETF category, with more than EUR 5.7 billion in notional volume.<\/p>\n

The iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF proved to be October\u2019s most actively-traded fund, after last holding the top spot in October 2016. Overall, the top ten list featured six stocks-based products, with five offering exposure to U.S. equities.<\/p>\n

Adam Gould, Head of U.S. Equities at Tradeweb, said:<\/strong> \u201cOur prediction in September that the fourth quarter of 2018 would be busy certainly came to fruition \u2013 notional value traded this month almost tripled year over year. The rising rates and declining equities of \u2018Red October\u2019 were reflected real-time by robust U.S. ETF Trading on Tradeweb, which experienced an outsized concentration in equity focused-fund activity. Throughout, our systems performed efficiently and resiliently, facilitating a number of large single trades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top ten by traded notional volume<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the month, 625 unique tickers traded on Tradeweb\u2019s U.S. ETF platform. The single most traded ETF by notional value traded during the month was the iShares Russell 1000 ETF (NYSE: IWB). As volatility roiled markets and yields on the 10-year US government bond jumped, so U.S. equities became a focus: eight of the top ten tickers on Tradeweb were equities based.<\/p>\n
