The Australian Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market grew by $17.7 billion (+5.1%) over the month to $364 billion across 487 products. Five new ETFs were launched in May, including a currency-hedged growth at a reasonable price (GARP) ETF, while four active ETFs closed during the month due to not raising enough assets to be commercially viable.
The Australian ETF market has grown 33.0% over the past year and is running at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.7% p.a. This growth was driven by $60.3 billion in net inflows over the past year, positive market movements, and unlisted funds converting into active ETFs.
Investors poured $5.4 billion into Australian ETFs in April, marking the third consecutive month of at least $5 billion in monthly net inflows. The industry has now attracted more than $26 billion year-to-date (YTD) and remains on track to eclipse last year's record $53 billion. With the second half of the year typically a stronger period for ETF flows as investors reposition portfolios and deploy fresh capital, the industry appears well placed to build further momentum into year-end.
