Global fixed income exchange traded products (ETPs) assets now account for 18 per cent of global ETP assets up from 7 per cent in 2007, BlackRock’s Investment Institute’s first ETP Landscape thematic report has revealed.
BlackRock stated that global fixed income ETP assets have grown to $309bn delivering a 10 year annual growth rate of 57 per cent.
Bond ETPs gathered a total of 35 per cent of inflows through July 2012 and this growth meant that fixed income ETPs posted YTD inflows of $44.4bn, a 94 per cent rise above 2011’s figure of $22.9bn.
BlackRock global head of ETP research Dodd Kittsley commented: “We believe investor appetite for Bond ETPs will continue over the coming decade, spurred by the income needs of ageing populations.
“As fixed income ETPs account for a small part of the global bond market, we expect more products, more innovation and more fixed income ETP assets for many years to come.”
