There were US$52.7 billion in net new asset (NNA) inflows in December in US listed ETFs/ETPs – the largest NNA month on record. Net inflows of US$245.7 billion are a new record beating prior full year net inflows.
 
“The US$245.7 billion of net new assets gathered by ETFs/ETPs in the US in 2014 demonstrates that ETFs have become a preferred tool for many types of investors to implement and adjust their asset allocation. The US market outperformed other developed markets in 2014 marking the third year of double digit gains with the S&P 500 ending the year up 14%. Emerging markets gained 1% while developed markets were down 4% for the year.” according to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner of ETFGI.

The top 3 providers iShares, SPDR and Vanguard have seen their combined US market share remain virtually unchanged going from 81.5% to 81.8%. Vanguard’s market share has increased from 19.6% to 21.3%, while SPDRs market share has remained fairly stable going from 23.0% to 22.7% and iShares has declined from 38.9% to 37.8%.
