Steady rise of ETF flows bodes well for emerging markets, say analysts

Emerging market ETFs see inflows of $6.5 billion in the last one month

Emerging market (EM) ETFs have started to see steady flows, shows recent data. In the last week, these ETFs saw inflow of $1.58 billion. Over the last one month, inflow has been to the tune of $6.5 billion. Analysts say the steady rise of ETF flows bodes well for EMs even as active asset managers hold a bearish outlook on the EMs. Unlike some of its EM peers, India seems to be on the right side of these ETF flows. In the last one-month period, India has garnered flows of $2.23 billion, which is the highest in the EM pack.
