Invesco reports that its regional ETF platform has grown 32% since 2019, “significantly outpacing” the average growth rate in the market, according to the firm.
ETF assets under management for Invesco’s ETF platform in Europe, Middle East & Africa stand at more than $100 billion – up from $21 billion at the beginning of 2019, significantly outpacing the industry growth rate.
The compound annual growth rate of 32% compares to an average of 20%.
Since 2019, Invesco has launched 80 new ETFs in Emea, featuring best-in-class options across equities, fixed income, ESG and commodities, including thematic products for targeted exposure.
The firm said it has Europe’s largest gold exchange-traded commodity and the world’s largest synthetic ETF, the Invesco S&P 500 UCITS ETF which has $31 billion of assets.
Other launches include the Invesco Coinshares Global Blockchain ETF, the Invesco ChiNext 50 ETF and the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF.
The firm said it has also “been at the forefront of innovation” in ESG-themed ETFs, through products such as the Invesco Bloomberg Commodity Carbon Tilted ETF, classified as Article 8 under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), and its range of corporate bond ESG ETFs.
Invesco said it had significant success with retail investors, in particular the Invesco FTSE All-World Ucits ETF, launched a year ago as a “cost-effective way to participate in the performance of over 4,000 companies around the world”. This attracted inflows of $411 million.
“The $100 billion milestone is the result of an immense amount of work from across the entire business”, said Gary Buxton, head of Emea ETFs at Invesco. “We have invested significantly in our platform in recent years, in order to offer investors the exposure they want, in the way they want it, anywhere in the world.”
He added: “Looking ahead, our focus will remain on working in partnership with clients to develop products that help them meet their needs. The ETF market has changed significantly – now, almost every product we launch comes from explicit demand from a client, and they are created through shared discussions with our product development teams. This dynamic is not only effective, but a highly rewarding way to work.”
