This year’s market fallout has slowed but not stopped product innovation in Europe’s asset management industry, particularly among exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers. Our latest research explains where and how they are setting strategic priorities, as well as our projections for demand and flows. Here are issuers’ top priorities by the numbers:

  • More than one in three (37%) will seek to enter new markets. A similar number will look to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to deliver enhanced product and distribution capabilities.
  • 49% of ETF issuers plan to add cryptocurrency-related expertise to their firms in the next 12 to 24 months.
  • 26% of ETF issuers expect to incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors or launching ESG ETFs.

Our latest report, European Passive Investments 2022: Fresh Opportunities for Growth, features in-depth analysis of the ETF and index fund marketplaces in Europe and the emerging trends across the UK, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, and Sweden. Use our analysis to capitalize on investors’ growing interest in passive investments with a complete understanding of the product and distribution dynamics at play.
