Global ETF assets double next 5 years to hit $20tn

Thursday, January 27, 2022

Laxman Pai, Opalesque Asia:

Global Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) assets under management (AuM) are set to double in the next five years, reaching $20trn by 2026, and representing a 17% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) said a study.

According to a PwC report, titled 'ETF 2026: The next big leap', found that ETFs had a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% since 2005, combined with record inflows, new entrants, innovative products, and distribution opportunities.

The Asia-Pacific market has seen record growth in recent years and is emerging as a hotbed of innovation. Bullish Asia-Pacific survey participants expect ETF AuM to rise to at least US$2 trillion by 2026.

Canada, the smallest ETF market covered in the survey, is one of the fastest-growing with 42% of survey participants expecting that Canadian ETF AUM will reach at least US$1 trillion by 2026.

The US continues to lead the way on ETF market size. More than 70% of survey participants believe that US ETF AuM will at least double to reach US$13 trillion by 2026. 60% of European participants believe that ETF AuM will reach at least US$3 trillion by 2026.

The survey also reveals an increased appetite for crypto products. According to the survey, if there was regulatory approval for crypto ETFs, 46% of European respondents confirmed that they would plan the launch of a crypto ETF within 18 months. This is 45%, 38%, and 25% respectively for Asia, Canada and the US.
