Greater China is emerging as the powerhouse of exchange traded fund growth in Asia Pacific, with investor demand predicted to continue to expand strongly over the next 12 months, a new report suggests.
Greater China, defined as Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China, is currently the fastest-growing ETF market in the Asia-Pacific region. For the first half of this year, the three greater China markets have accounted for $102bn of net flows, representing 70 per cent of all net new flows in Asia-Pacific including Japan, according to the Brown Brothers Harriman report.
Combined ETF assets of $557bn in greater China now account for 38 per cent of total Asia-Pacific ETF assets of $1.49tn, the latest BBH Greater China ETF Investor Survey finds.
