Fixed Income flows of $19.6bn set a new monthly record amid expectations for continued low interest rates and low inflation. US Treasuries brought in $11.4bn and Investment Grade Corporate gathered $3.6bn. High Yield Corporate added $1.4bn. Despite inflows into all duration buckets, Short Maturity funds had a record month taking in $7.4bn. Overall Equity flows were moderate at $5.8bn with investors continuing to favor non-us Developed Markets exposures. Japanese Equity inflows reached $4.1bn and Pan-European funds gathered $2.8bn as evidence continues to point toward improving growth in the region. US Equity outflows totaled ($0.2bn) and Emerging Markets shed ($4.5bn). February played out as a tale of two halves and ETPs enabled market participants to efficiently reallocate capital as sentiment shifted. Prior to Yellen s remarks, Equity ETP redemptions reached ($21.2bn) while Fixed Income accumulated $16.8bn as investors waited out the equity market volatility that carried over from January. Subsequently, the trend reversed with Equities recovering $27.1bn (largely US Equity) while Fixed Income cooled but still brought in an additional $2.8bn.

3 Global Overview Highlights (US$): 1,2 GLOBAL ETP WEEKLY FLOWS February $27.2bn February inflows of $27.2bn for the Global ETP Industry represented a dramatic turnaround from January s outflows, underscoring the uncertainty confronting markets so far in Going forward this year, volatility is likely to move higher, reverting to its long-term historical average. The lack of a clear signal on global economic growth following a year in which the anticipation of improvement propelled stocks to impressive gains has led to active movement of capital among asset classes that was reflected in ETP flows during the month. There were, however, categories that continued to consistently gather assets. Net (US$bn) 6.0 (3.4) (12.0) (4.5) Developed Int l Equity Fixed Income US Equity EM Equity Commodities/Other Redemptions in US Equity exposures that had emerged during late January continued into the first week of February but then reversed to inflows despite further lackluster reports on the labor market and manufacturing. The catalysts were Janet Yellen s testimony before Congress and news of an agreement on debt ceiling legislation. The former was an encouraging sign of a smooth Fed transition and confirmation of low-for-longer interest rate policy in conjunction with tapering while the latter pushed an obstacle to 2014 growth off until next year. US Large Cap outflows abated, finishing the month down ($2.9bn) as opposed to the ($15.7bn) witnessed in January. One consistent trend was strength in US Sectors which built on existing momentum adding $4.1bn in February driven by Health Care, Energy and Real Estate. Global Fixed Income flows of $19.6bn set a new record in February and were led by US exposures with $16.8bn, also a new high. spiked as US Equity redemptions mounted early in the month, but then slowed abruptly. It remains unclear whether the pickup this month was a sign of changing investor behavior or more opportunistic in nature given shortterm market conditions as well as range-bound interest rates and low inflation expectations. Still, in two months it brings year-to-date Fixed Income flows to $23.1bn, close to the total for all of 2013 at $27.1bn. US Treasuries and Investment Grade bonds led the way accumulating $11.4bn and $3.6bn this month, respectively. High Yield added $1.4bn. European Fixed Income exposures continued their strong run gathering $1.3bn, just off the pace from January. Short Maturity Fixed Income flows also reached their highest monthly total on record at $7.4bn after subsiding late in While the outlook for Emerging Markets Equity remains tenuous in light of tension in the Ukraine and Chinese currency volatility, it has stabilized notably since January and so have ETP flows. February brought additional outflows of ($4.5bn) but they were concentrated early in the month. 1/17 1/24 GLOBAL EQUITY ETP FLOWS 1 ($1.9bn) vs YTD : $46.8bn (11.6) US Japan Pan European 10.5 GLOBAL FIXED INCOME ETP FLOWS February : $19.6bn Monthly Net ($US$bn) /31 Short Maturity Other Duration Buckets 2/7 2/14 2/21 2/ Other DM/ Global Jan-Feb 2013 Jan-Feb (13.2) Emerging Markets F A J A O D F A J A O D F [ 3 ]
