Summary:

• Current risk appetite is high
• International equity ETF’s are seeing similar inflows to domestic equity ETF’s in absolute dollar terms and higher inflows relative to their asset base
• Emerging market equity ETF’s are outpacing those investing broadly in international equities
• Inflows into speculative bond ETF’s have ended
• Interest in precious metal-related ETF’s is very low
• A prudent or contrarian investor would use the opportunity to shift positions into more defensive ETF’s

PS: The report is based on February data for monthly analysis and the period March 2012 – February 2013 for 12-months rolling data.

Going forward I will name reports according to the last month of data included (for example, the next report, including data from March 2013, will be called “March 2013” and be published in April).
