European ETF trading has seen a large uptick in volumes this year, a trend that has also unfolded globally. Last year, ETF assets climbed to an all-time high of $2.6 trillion, up 18 percent year-over-year from $2.2 billion in 2015, as measured by Broadridge’s Fund Distribution Intelligence (FDI) tool.
ETF growth has largely been driven by an increase in third-party distribution channel sales from broker-dealers (B/D), registered investment advisors (RIAs), and banks. On Clearstream’s part, ETF assets under custody rose to a fresh high of $334.2 billion. Over the past year however, Clearstream’s custody business for European ETFs has also jumped by a factor of 25 percent, justifying a large increase in its market share in Europe.
The ETF sector as a whole has been one of the fastest growing over the previous twelve months, in light of the elimination of several technical challenges, improvements in issuance and settlement, and listings across multiple jurisdictions.
