Professionally managed financial investments globally are predicted to grow at 6% per annum to reach $100 trillion by 2020, according to a new report by PwC. Exchange traded funds (ETFs) will pay a prominent role in this growth, as new investor segments continue to integrate them into their portfolios and fund sponsors continue to introduce more products. The report, ‘ETF 2020: Preparing for a new horizon’ (“ETF 2020”), which surveyed executives from 60 ETF sponsors, asset managers and service providers around the world that account for over 70% of global assets, reveals more than three out of four executives expect ETF assets to at least double, to reach $5 trillion or more by 2020.
