what happened
European exchange-traded funds recorded €127.4 billion in net new assets in the third quarter, a 12% increase from the second quarter. Amundi Investment Solutions said in a report cited by Newsmetry API that assets under management in European-domiciled UCITS ETFs rose to just over €3 trillion.
Equity products captured almost €100 billion of the allocations. Gold-linked products also drew notable demand, with gold exchange-traded products and exchange-traded commodities receiving more than €10 billion during the quarter. That exceeded the strongest full-year inflow previously recorded for the precious metal, €7.6 billion in 2022.
The report said global markets were highly volatile in the last quarter. The Iran war heightened concerns over high inflation and helped drive a bond selloff, while the artificial-intelligence boom supported stocks. The exchange rate used was $1 = 0.8950 euros.
why it matters
The figures point to strong demand for equity ETFs, while the acceleration in gold allocations highlights investor sensitivity to the bond-market selloff, higher US Treasury yields and a stronger risk-off tone.
