Equity ETFs suffered their worst month ever (-\u20ac12.7bn). <\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, flows into fixed income (\u20ac2.2bn), smart beta (\u20ac504m) and commodities ETFs (\u20ac126m) slowed but stayed positive.<\/p>\n

With \u20ac1.4bn of inflows, ESG ETFs<\/strong> continued their rise in August and brought their total for the year to \u20ac8.5bn.<\/p>\n

Special Focus: Flight to safety <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month\u2019s ETF flows reflected investors\u2019 worries over the overall economic and political environment.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s little doubt escalating global trade tensions and the slower global growth outlook have been driving money into defensive investments.<\/p>\n

In August, equity ETFs recorded their worst month ever with \u20ac12.7bn of outflows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All equity subcategories suffered.<\/p>\n

In contrast, all safe havens were in demand. Developed market government bonds have gathered about \u20ac9.2bn YTD \u2013 a third of which has been in the last two months.<\/p>\n

Europe government bonds have proved particularly popular, with \u20ac803m of inflows in August.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other traditional safe havens have also been in demand, and we\u2019ve seen strong inflows into gold ETFs (\u20ac226m in August vs. the monthly average of the last 12 months of \u20ac19m) and the best start to a year ever for income generating ETFs (\u20ac235m in August and \u20ac2.8bn YTD).<\/p>\n

On top of all this, all smart beta inflows have been gathered in min vol\/min var strategies (\u20ac590m in August and \u20ac3.2bn YTD)<\/strong>, highlighting investors\u2019 intentions to protect themselves against global uncertainty.<\/p>\n
