The first half of 2026 is setting records across the board for the European ETP market, with flows, assets under management and trading volumes all reaching new highs. Fill out the form to get the full report and discover all key trends from H1 2026!
"In the first half of 2026, European ETPs are on track for a triple crown: record launches, record trading volumes and record net new money. If that pace holds through H2, 2026 won't just set new records, it'll clear the old ones by a wide margin."

What stood out in H1 2026
Record flows and AuM
Net new money reached roughly $267bn by end-June, about 52% ahead of where 2025 stood at the same point, and 2025 was itself the strongest year on record. Total assets rose to $3.75tn, up around 15% since year-end. Demand was steady too, positive in all but one week of the half, with only a brief pause in March.
Record launches
New launches are on the same path, driven above all by active ETFs, now around a third of all new products.
Record volumes
Secondary-market trading ran well above historical levels every month, with March the clear outlier. Trading also kept moving on-exchange, with LIT venues now about a third of volume, which usually points to growing retail participation.
