FIXED INCOME ETP FLOWS SURGED IN EARLY FEBRUARY
WHILE EQUITIES RECOVERED AFTER A ROCKY START1
Global ETP inflows finished February at $27.2bn spurred on by Janet Yellen’s
February 11th address to Congress, which was well received by equity markets.
Fixed Income flows of $19.6bn set a new monthly record amid expectations for
continued low interest rates and low inflation.
• US Treasuries brought in $11.4bn and Investment Grade Corporate gathered
$3.6bn. High Yield Corporate added $1.4bn.
• Despite inflows into all duration buckets, Short Maturity funds had a record
month taking in $7.4bn.
Overall Equity flows were moderate at $5.8bn with investors continuing to favor
non-US Developed Markets exposures.
• Japanese Equity inflows reached $4.1bn and Pan-European funds gathered
$2.8bn as evidence continues to point toward improving growth in the region.
• US Equity outflows totaled ($0.2bn) and Emerging Markets shed ($4.5bn).
February played out as a tale of two halves and ETPs enabled market
participants to efficiently reallocate capital as sentiment shifted.
• Prior to Yellen’s remarks, Equity ETP redemptions reached ($21.2bn) while
Fixed Income accumulated $16.8bn as investors waited out the equity market
volatility that carried over from January.
• Subsequently, the trend reversed with Equities recovering $27.1bn (largely
US Equity) while Fixed Income cooled but still brought in an additional $2.8bn.

Global Overview
GLOBAL ETP WEEKLY FLOWS1
The lack of a clear signal on global economic growth –
following a year in which the anticipation of improvement
propelled stocks to impressive gains – has led to active
movement of capital among asset classes that was reflected
in ETP flows during the month. There were, however,
categories that continued to consistently gather assets.
Redemptions in US Equity exposures that had emerged
during late January continued into the first week of February
but then reversed to inflows despite further lackluster reports
on the labor market and manufacturing. The catalysts were
Janet Yellen’s testimony before Congress and news of an
agreement on debt ceiling legislation. The former was an
encouraging sign of a smooth Fed transition and confirmation
of low-for-longer interest rate policy in conjunction with
tapering while the latter pushed an obstacle to 2014 growth
off until next year. US Large Cap outflows abated, finishing
the month down ($2.9bn) as opposed to the ($15.7bn)
witnessed in January. One consistent trend was strength in
US Sectors which built on existing momentum adding $4.1bn
in February driven by Health Care, Energy and Real Estate.
Global Fixed Income flows of $19.6bn set a new record in
February and were led by US exposures with $16.8bn, also a
new high. Flows spiked as US Equity redemptions mounted
early in the month, but then slowed abruptly. It remains
unclear whether the pickup this month was a sign of changing
investor behavior or more opportunistic in nature given shortterm market conditions as well as range-bound interest rates
and low inflation expectations. Still, in two months it brings
year-to-date Fixed Income flows to $23.1bn, close to the total
for all of 2013 at $27.1bn. US Treasuries and Investment
Grade bonds led the way accumulating $11.4bn and $3.6bn
this month, respectively. High Yield added $1.4bn. European
Fixed Income exposures continued their strong run gathering
$1.3bn, just off the pace from January. Short Maturity Fixed
Income flows also reached their highest monthly total on
record at $7.4bn after subsiding late in 2013.
While the outlook for Emerging Markets Equity remains
tenuous in light of tension in the Ukraine and Chinese
currency volatility, it has stabilized notably since January and
so have ETP flows. February brought additional outflows of
($4.5bn) but they were concentrated early in the month.

Net Flows (US$bn)
February inflows of $27.2bn for the Global ETP Industry
represented a dramatic turnaround from January’s outflows,
underscoring the uncertainty confronting markets so far in
2014. Going forward this year, volatility is likely to move
higher, reverting to its long-term historical average.

Global Overview (cont’d)
Highlights (US$):1,2
Year-to-date outflows of ($13.2bn) have now surpassed the total
of ($10.3bn) for all of 2013. Valuations remain relatively attractive
by historical standards for longer-term investors willing to ride out
the volatility inherent in the asset class and encouraging forecasts
for individual economies such as South Korea also continue to
present opportunities for selective investors.
Flows into Pan-European Equity exposures remained strong
reaching $2.8bn in February. Data released mid-month indicated
Q4 Eurozone GDP growth of 0.3% – above expectations for 0.2%
– and February inflation of 0.8% annualized that remains low but
has stabilized recently.3 Single country funds have also seen
momentum in flows continue to build this year. They gathered
$1.3bn in February led by Italy and Switzerland with $0.4bn each.
In aggregate, flows into European Equity exposures totaled
$4.2bn during the month.

The pace of Japanese Equity flows remained strong with $4.1bn
added in February predominantly among a select set of Nikkei
and TOPIX funds. Year-to-date the total has already reached
$8.2bn. Inflows had tapered late in 2013 following impressive
asset gathering of $26.0bn during the first half. Despite evidence
that economic growth remains moderate – the latest Q4 data
revealed GDP growth of 0.3%4 – the government reasserted its
commitment to boost record stimulus measures if needed.

ETP and Mutual Fund Flows Fixed Income and Money Market
Highlights (US$):1,5
The preference for Short Maturity Fixed Income that was a
key theme in 2013 is still evident for Mutual Funds but is
less pronounced for ETPs.
Short Maturity Fixed Income mutual funds gathered
$11.0bn so far this year, while other maturities had
redemptions of ($11.2bn).
Fixed Income ETPs gathered $23.1bn year-to-date, led by
US Treasury Bond and Investment Grade Corporate Bond
funds. Flows of $9.3bn came from Short Maturity funds and
other duration buckets added $13.8bn.
Money Market mutual funds surrendered ($20.1bn) year-
to-date, similar thus far to the pattern seen last year. Money
Market ETP trends are not shown below as assets are
minimal. Flows are included with those of Fixed Income
funds.

The ETP (or exchange traded product) category encompasses any portfolio exposure security that trades intra-day on an exchange. The data for this report
are captured from a number of sources by BlackRock including provider websites, fund prospectuses, provider press releases, provider surveys, Bloomberg,
the National Stock Exchange, Strategic Insight Simfund, Wind, and the Bank of Israel. All amounts are reported in US dollars. Flows are derived using daily net
asset values and shares outstanding using the most recent data we can capture at month-end. For products with cross-listings, we attribute net flows and
assets to the primary listings. For Middle East and Africa, net flows data is not available. Assets are derived using shares outstanding and prices at the end of
each month (or the closest date available). Where price is not available, we use an approximation. For ETPs listed in Israel, product level detail is not available.
Product level information is aggregated by provider, asset class, exposure, region listed and replication method to produce the various analyses in the report.
1.
Data is as of February 27, 2014 for Europe and February 28, 2014 for the US, Canada, Latin America, Israel, and some Asia ETPs. Some Asia ETP data
is as of January 31, 2014. Global ETP flows and assets are sourced using shares outstanding and net asset values from Bloomberg for the US, Canada,
Europe, Latin America and some ETPs in Asia. Middle East ETP assets are sourced from the Bank of Israel. ETP flows and assets in China are sourced
from Wind. Inflows for years prior to 2010 are sourced from Strategic Insights Simfund. Asset classifications are assigned by the BlackRock based on
product definitions from provider websites and product prospectuses. Other static product information is obtained from provider websites, product
prospectuses, provider press releases, and provider surveys. Market returns are sourced from Bloomberg.
2.
We classify maturity buckets of a Fixed Income ETP if the fund invests at least 70% of its assets in the corresponding maturity/exposure range: Short
maturity includes: underlying security maturities < 3 years and floating rate where the fund holds floating rate securities and/or bank loans. Intermediate
includes: 3 years < underlying security maturities < 10 years. The “other” category includes Long-Term: underlying security maturities > 10 years; Broad
Maturities: The fund invests in more than two maturity buckets without emphasizing one; Selected Maturities: The fund holds securities with multiple
selected range of maturity buckets, i.e. barbell strategy which focuses on the specific short-term and long-term buckets with even weights; and Fixed
Maturity: The fund itself has a target maturity date and arranged holdings correspondingly.
