Global ETFs draw record inflows in first half of 2021
Global exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted record investments this year, driven by a rally in equities, low interest rates and ample cheap cash.
According to Refinitiv data, global ETFs received a combined inflow of $639.8 billion in the first half of this year, more than double the same period last year.
Equity ETFs secured $490.65 billion or 76% of the total inflows, while bond ETFs received $136.6 billion.
Analysts said the rising interest in ETFs was due to their better tax efficiency, transparency and higher returns over actively managed mutual funds.
