Business Wire
State Street Global Advisors (SSgA), the
investment management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE:
STT), today released a new report titled, SPDR® ETF Outlook―Taking
Aim at 2011, which offers insights into recent developments in the
exchange traded funds (ETF) industry and the trends expected to
shape asset flows in 2011.
According to the report, ETF industry assets
in the United States reached a record $995 billion at the end of
2010, as net new inflows exceeded $100 billion for the fourth
consecutive year. Exchange traded fund investors distributed their
investments across several asset classes including fixed income,
international, dividend and commodities during the year.
“As awareness of core benefits of ETFs grows,
they are becoming the preferred choice of a growing number of
institutional, professional and retail investors,” said Tom
Anderson, global head of ETF strategy and research at State Street
Global Advisors. “Looking ahead to 2011, we expect to see investors
increase their exposure to non-correlated asset classes and high
dividend paying stocks using ETFs to implement strategies designed
to improve their risk-return profile and generate a steady source
of income amid an improving economic backdrop.”
Among the key themes highlighted in SPDR ETF
Outlook―Taking Aim at 2011 are:
- Continued growth of ETF industry
assets;
- Insights into how investors are
evaluating ETFs;
- Implications of the Flash Crash;
- Potential growth of non-US exposure in
investor’s portfolios; and
- Outlook for dividend, actively managed,
and “real assets” ETFs in 2011.
