ETFs continues to be attractive for investors

The growth story of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) continues in the second half of the year, as wealthy investors turn to this investment instrument after a volatile first half for equities.

The numbers available from BlackRock for last month show that despite lower overall trading volumes, the global exchange-traded product (ETP) industry attracted net inflows of US$12.1 billion, more than double the US$5.3 billion collected in August last year.
