Originally published by BetaShares h2 Positive inflows not enough to stop industry dip /h2
With both Australian and global equity markets falling significantly for the second month in a row, continued positive net inflows were not sufficient to stop the industry from declining –ending a 13 month run of positive growth. Net new money for the industry was positive at $481m, but due to the extent of asset depreciation the industry actually fell in value. Read on for details of the month in ETFs.
