Conclusions:
- Current risk appetite remains high
- International equity ETF’s are seeing less inflows than domestic equity ETF’s in absolute dollar terms but higher inflows relative to their asset base
- Emerging market equity ETF’s are still outpacing those investing broadly in international equities but have experienced a significant slow-down
- Inflows into high-yield bond ETF’s have cooled off considerably
- Interest in precious metal-related ETF’s remains low; in April, GLD saw the largest outflow of all ETF’s we cover
- A prudent or contrarian investor would use the opportunity to shift positions into moredefensive ETF’s
