Lipper what?! Ha! 'Tell them, boss!' All right.

Refinitiv: Lipper European ETF Market Report - December 2019

That's what it is! And ...

For immediate release

So ... 'Oh dear.' What, Voice? 'You received this email last week.' Yeah. 'Why didn't you release it last week?' I work in my own time, man. 'Detlef will be upset.' Ha! I doubt it.

Okay, okay!

The promoters of ETFs experienced net inflows of €18.0 bn for December
The assets under management in the European ETF industry (€870.0 bn) increased during December to a new all-time high.
Equity ETFs (+€13.5 bn) posted the highest net inflows in the European ETF industry for December.
In Every Dream Home A Heartache.
The best-selling Lipper global classification for December was Equity US (+€3.6 bn), followed by Equity Emerging Markets Global (+€3.1 bn) and Equity Global (+€2.2 bn)
iShares was the best-selling ETF promoter in Europe for December (+€6.6 bn), ahead of Vanguard Group (+€2.4 bn) and UBS ETF (+€2.2 bn).
The 10 best-selling funds gathered total net inflows of €6.5 bn for December.
The best-selling ETF for December, UBS ETF MSCI Emerging Markets UCITS ETF (USD) Aa, accounted for net inflows of €1.4 bn.

Well, fair enough. I'm not going to argue with any of that. 'Yeah, right.' What? 'Argue with it. Go on!' I don't want to. I don't need to. 'Yeah, yeah.' Shut up!

Oh, Malibu, dear reader(s)? Listen - I mean, look - 'Boss! Let Detlef speak first. Let's finish the email.' Christ!

Detlef Glow, Lipper Head of EMEA Research at Refinitiv, comments: "December was another positive month for the European ETF industry as the promoters of ETFs in Europe enjoyed above average inflows in December. These led, in combination with the positive performance of the underlying markets, to an increase in assets under management in the European ETF industry from €842.1 bn as of November 30, 2019, to a new record high of €870.0 bn at the end of December. The increase of €27.9 bn for December was driven by net inflows (+€18.0 bn), while the performance of the underlying markets contributed €9.9 bn to the increase in assets under management."

Right. Thank you, Detlef!

ENDS - !!!

Now, look ... this is the dream home I was telling you about, kook(s). I'm going to watch this video a few times a day, just to stay focused, like. I mean, I've got to get out of this craphole, man. Do you know what I mean? 'Me?' Them. 'Well, they should know. I know. Loads of people live in crapholes, boss.' Exactly! And how many of them think that socialism is the answer? Very few. 'What?!' Listen! Most people would want to live in a house like that. 'Yeah, yeah.' Well, they would! Human nature, son. You can't beat it.

...

Anything else? I'm a bit stressed out at the moment, for various reasons. Never mind, eh? What a life!

Laters!
