On the heels of record growth in 2009 came January’s figures about ETFs , and the news wasn’t good. Now that February’s numbers are in, though, January’s bummer may soon become a distant memory.
Assets in ETFs and exchange traded notes at the end of February totaled $765 billion, up from January’s total of $745 billion.
More facts and figures:
- The number of listed products totaled 964, compared to 843 listed products a year earlier.
- February 2010 net cash inflows from all ETFs/ETNs totaled approximately $5.4 billion. The total month to month increase was 66%.
Fixed-income products continue to be where it’s at for investors who are seeking income and safe havens, with $2.3 billion in net inflows for February 2010, and a category-leading $5.4 billion year-to-date.
U.S. equities also enjoyed a resurgence of sorts after appearing to be out of favor for much of 2009. Domestic equities posted monthly net cash inflows of over $5.8 billion for February 2010, following last month’s record net cash outflows for the category of over $19.6 billion.
