TRACKINSIGHT RELEASES 4TH GLOBAL ETF SURVEY 2023

KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 (Bernama) -- Trackinsight, the leading independent Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) database platform, has announced the release of its 4th Global ETF Survey 2023 in partnership with J.P. Morgan Asset Management and State Street.

In a statement, Trackinsight said the full report, which is available for free, detailed the key findings and ETF trends from over 500 professional investors who manage almost US$900 billion of assets through ETFs. (US$1=RM4.49)

The survey provides a comprehensive overview of the current usage of ETFs and insights into how the industry is expected to evolve in the coming years.

Trackinsight Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Philippe Malaise said this report offered an in-depth analysis of the ETF market, and the survey's findings will provide investors with valuable insights into the industry's trends and outlook.

Among the highlights drawn from the data found that investors' interest in ETFs remains high, with 56 per cent of respondents planning to increase their exposure to Equity ETFs and 40 per cent to Fixed Income in the next two to three years.

Furthermore, ETFs have gained popularity among investors because they offer attractive features like low fees, easy diversification and accessibility. Tax efficiency also plays an important role in ETF popularity in the Americas.

Investors are ready for Active ETFs, especially in the Americas, where they also use these products for Fixed Income and Thematic investing, while interest is mainly on equity in Europe. Nearly 80 per cent of respondents in the Americas stated they would be more inclined to invest in an active strategy if packaged as an ETF rather than a mutual fund.

Also highlighted, thematic investing strategies are all the rage, with 40 per cent of respondents anticipating an increase in their allocation over the next few years, mainly for diversification and long-term strategies.

In addition to the full report, Trackinsight and its partners are delighted to offer additional content with thought leadership articles and weekly updated industry league tables, freely accessible from trackinsight.com, allowing everyone to shed light on the ETF market.
