Originally published by BetaShares h2 ETF industry breaks the $30B barrier/h2
The Australian ETF industry once again had a positive month, with net cash inflows taking the industry to a fresh record high as the industry broke $30B for the first time. Total industry FuM at the month end was $30.1B, which is a growth of 2.3% ($725m) for the month. In a month where the Australian sharemarkets were flat, 100% of the growth came from net inflows rather than asset appreciation.
