Updated on

LONDON — July 9, 2015 — A record level of US$103 billion in net new assets (NNA) was gathered by ETFs and ETPs listed in the United States in the first half of 2015, surpassing the prior record of US$76 billion gathered in the first half of 2012, according to ETFGI’s preliminary ETF and ETP global insights report for the first half of 2015.  At the end of June 2015, the US ETF/ETP industry had 1,742 ETFs/ETPs, assets of US$2.1 trillion, from 82 providers listed on 3 exchanges.

“June was a difficult month for most markets around the world. The S&P 500 index ended June down 2% for the month and finished the first half of 2015 up 1%. Market performance in the first half of 2015 was impacted by a number of uncertainties in the first half of 2015: the situation in Greece and the impact on the Eurozone, when the Fed will raise interest rates, volatility in the Chinese market and the MERS outbreak in South Korea.” according to Deborah Fuhr, managing partner of ETFGI.
