ETF Monthly InsightsUS Equity returns hit a speed bump last month...

March marked a slowdown for US equities. Global Equities were up by 1.35%during last month, mainly boosted by EM and Intl DM Equities with returnsof 3.69% and 3.23%, respectively; while, US equities recorded flat to negativeperformance. Fixed Income registered somewhat weak performance in general(-0.05%), Rates and Corporate Credit were weak, while EM Gov Debt Local(+2.24%), Convertible (+0.85%) and Intl DM debt (+0.76%) recorded strongerreturns. Commodities registered losses of 3.24%, dragged by Energy commoditylosses of 3.30%, meanwhile, Agriculture and Precious Metal recorded returns of-2.08% and -0.65%, respectively. On the currency side, the USD weakened againstmost major foreign currencies, as suggested by the -0.61% in UUP.

Returns and flows were mostly consistent for Global Equities and Commodities;while, Fixed Income products were somewhat mixed. Flows and performancewere positive for Intl DM ETFs registering inflows of 2.7% of assets; meanwhile,the Eurozone and Europe recorded gains of 6.18% and 4.43% on the back ofstrong inflows, respectively. In the meantime, EM markets received inflows of3.1% of assets, highlighting BRIC and EM Asia with 2.57% and 3.62% in positiveperformance, and 7.3% and 2.2% of assets in inflows, respectively. In the fixedincome space, US Treasuries and Senior Loans had strong inflows, but weakreturns; meanwhile Intl DM debt had good returns with outflows. Convertibleshowed more consistency with positive returns (0.85%) and strong inflows (8.0%of asset). On the other hand, commodities were mostly consistent, with theexception of Crude Oil WTI, and Natural Gas which were mixed registering lossesof 7.1% and inflows of 10.4% of assets, and gains of 13.1%, and outflows of23.4% of assets, respectively.

Within US equities, performance and flows were more consistent with manysectors and industries experiencing moderate losses and outflows, and othersrecording mild inflows and gains last month. Energy ETFs, however, registeredmostly negative returns and positive flows. During March, Utilities and Energyregistered inflows of 2.4% and 1.5% of their assets, respectively; while, ConsumerDiscretionary and Materials experienced the largest outflows losing 4.5% and3.5% of their assets, respectively. On the other hand, at the industry level, EnergyE&P and Energy Eq. & Serv. experienced the largest inflows amounting to 22.7%and 13.2% of their assets, respectively; meanwhile, Retail and Capital marketsregistered outflows of 35.7% and 19.2%% of their assets, respectively.

In international equity markets, we saw mixed flows and mostly positiveperformance across most exposures. Spain registered the top performance(11.39%), followed by Italy and Portugal, with over 8.0% in returns each; while, onthe other hand, the most negative performance was Pakistan (-3.03%), followedby New Zealand with a loss of 2.13%. On the flow side, Malaysia experienced thelargest inflows with 11.8% of assets; meanwhile, Mexico saw the largest outflows(15.3% of assets).

In terms of correlation trends, we highlight the significant de-coupling of US andEM equities. Correlation between them was over 0.8 less than 1 year ago, andwent under 0.2 at the end of March.

...but US equity inflows remained strong with $20bn, and+$45.3bn for all ETPs

March flows were led by Equity leaving Fixed Income ETPs in second place; while,Commodity ETPs registered negative numbers. ETPs registered $45.3bn in newcash; helping assets to rise 1.7% from one month earlier, ending with a total of$2.78 trillion at the end of March. Equity and Fixed Income attracted inflows of$36.3bn and $9.6bn, while, Commodity recorded $0.5bn in outflows.

Among the most relevant inflow trends, we saw US Equities with $20.2bn(71.3% of DM Equity total flows), DM ex-US Equities with $6.5bn, and regionalEurope and Eurozone-focused ETPs with almost $1.0bn each. Meanwhile, onthe fixed income space, Broad and US Treasury exposures recorded $3.3bn and$1.8bn in positive flows, respectively. On the outflow side, Japan and Mexicoequities registered negative flows of $1.1bn and $0.25bn, respectively. Beta,Smart Beta, Beta+ (leveraged and inverse), and Active products experiencedinflows of $36.9bn, $6.1bn, $1.3.0bn, and $1.1bn, respectively.

Within Equity Smart Beta products, Style and Equal-weighted ETFs were themost popular categories in March, the first of them adding $5.5bn; while, thesecond one posted $0.8bn in fresh new cash. Currency Hedged ETFs experiencedanother weak month registering outflows by $0.7bn. The largest negative flowswere experienced by ETFs offering FX hedged exposure to JPY (-$0.52bn); while,those offering FX hedged exposure to Multiple Currencies experienced inflowsof $0.12bn during March. In term of product types, all of them posted inflows.Asset Allocation, Cash Management, Pseudo Futures and Leveraged & Inverseregistered inflows of $18.7bn, $18.1bn, $7.2bn, and $1.3bn, respectively.

Total ETP turnover was $1.68 trillion last month, up 37% from the previous month.Furthermore, ETF turnover represented 26.1% of all cash equity traded in the USduring March, over its 12-month average of 25.5%.

Q1 makes history for ETPs with 10% (+$252bn) growth inAUM, and +$132bn in CF

The first quarter of 2017 has definitely won its place in the books of ETP records.ETPs grew by 10% during Q1, adding $252bn in assets under management, and$132bn in net new cash flows on the back of a US trade driven by discussionsof fiscal stimulus and economic growth, and DOL tailwinds for passive vehicles,particularly ETFs.

The growth exhibited by ETPs is an all-time record for absolute quarterly assetgrowth, and inflows. But what is more impressive to us is the fact that this cameduring the first quarter of the year which has usually been the weakest quarter forETP flows historically. Thus, the growth metrics observed during the past quarterare clear outliers among over 24 years of ETP history.

Although we believe that part of this impressive growth has been due to structuralchanges such as the DOL rule, we think that the outflows from active mutualfunds (-$20bn in the first two months of the year) relative to the inflows intopassive instruments (+$139bn in the same two months) don't suggest that thereal shift from active mutual funds towards ETFs or Index Funds has begun yet.

Therefore our view is that we are very much on track for a record year of growthfor ETPs with inflows between $400bn to $500bn within total reach.

European ETFs are back on the table

DB's Global Asset Allocation strategist, Binky Chadha, recently downgraded theUS to neutral from overweight, and upgraded European equities to overweight.Similarly, recent ETF flows suggest that investor sentiment towards Europeanequities has also been improving. In fact, since flows turned the corner back inearly December, European ETFs listed in the US have gained over $5bn throughlast Thur April 13th. Furthermore, allocations have been favoring both regional andcountry exposures, and DM and EM european markets; however, fx hedged ETFshave not seen the same fate. We provide additional insights and a list of Europeanan Eurzone-focused ETFs for investors' reference.

The 2016 Guide to Institutional ETF Ownership

Welcome to Deutsche Bank's institutional ETF ownership landscape guideOur comprehensive fact-driven analysis of the institutional ETF ownershiplandscape includes over 780,000 ETF positions across all US-domiciled ETFs inthe last 17 years from almost 6,000 firms from over 40 countries. Complementedwith additional insights from hundreds of meetings and interactions withinstitutional ETF users from over 20 countries. Featuring Investment Adviser,Private Bank/WM, Broker, Mutual Fund, Hedge Fund, Pension Fund, InsuranceCompany, and groups of special interest such as institutions in retail distributionchannels (e.g. wirehouses, RIAs, IBDs, RBDs, TAMPs, Robo-Advisors), LatinAmerican pension funds, and international asset managers.

Institutional ETF assets grew by $213bn and reached $1.44 trillion in 2016As of the end of 2016, almost 3,500 institutional investors held more than $1.44trillion in ETF assets accounting for about 59% of all ETF assets. InvestmentAdviser remained as the dominant group with $813bn representing 33% of allETF assets. Meanwhile, Private Bank/Wealth Management followed in a strongsecond place with $372bn in ETF assets or 15% of total assets.

Hedge funds recorded the strongest relative YoY growth in ETF assetsHedge funds saw an increase of 77% in ETF assets to $43.8bn, an increase from1.2% to 1.8% in ETF ownership, and an increase of 17% in the number of fundsusing ETFs. Overall, they continued to prefer a reduced sample of ultra liquid ETFs.And had a very sizeable allocation to US Financials at the end of the year.

Insurance companies and mutual funds grow, brokers and pension funds lagInsurance companies and mutual funds seem to be embracing ETFs more andmore and recorded healthy ETF asset growth of 43% and 38%, respectively. Whilebrokers and pension funds saw negative (-4%), and flat (1%) growth, respectively.The decline in brokers reflects the recent capital constraints in banks, while thetepid growth in pensions answers to a rotation of users.

Asset allocation remains top institutional usage for ETFs, but not the only oneInvestment advisers and private banks mostly use ETFs as core asset allocationbuilding blocks in multi asset portfolios. Hedge funds and brokers mostly useETFs for quick access to liquidity, and risk management, and in the case of hedgefunds also for tactical asset allocation. Meanwhile, mutual funds, pension funds,and insurance companies use ETFs for completion strategies, tactical satellitepositions, or cash management.

Appendix C: DefinitionsETP Universe Definitions

Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs)We define an exchange-traded product (ETP) as a secure (funded or collateralized)open-ended exchange-traded equity with no embedded optionality and market-wide appeal to investors. This includes exchange traded funds (ETF), andexchange-traded vehicles (ETV). The vast majority of instruments are ETFs (~98%in AUM).

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)ETFs are open-ended funds which are listed on an exchange and offer intra-daydual liquidity to access diversified investments in a transparent, cheap, and taxefficient way. ETFs indexed to equity and fixed income benchmarks are registeredunder the investment company act of 1940. Only physical index replicationtechniques are permissible by this legislation while synthetic replication is notallowed.

Exchange-traded vehicles (ETVs)This terminology typically refers to grantor trusts that exist in the US market.These instruments track primarily commodity benchmarks. They differ fromETFs in that they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not theInvestment Company Act of 1940, hence they are not classed as funds. Vehiclesthat replicate commodity benchmarks, more often known as pools, and fundstargeting alternative index returns are formed under the Commodities ExchangeAct and are listed under the 33 Securities Act, and report under 34 Corporate Act.

Management Style or Product Strategy Definitions

BetaThis is the main group with the largest number of products and assets.Within this category we account for all those ETFs that track an index whichemploys a market capitalization weighting methodology, and a simple selectionmethodology usually involving screenings such as minimum market cap andliquidity levels, or profitability levels. ETFs in this group are also referred to as“plain-vanilla” ETFs. Some examples of indices falling within this category are:S&P 500, S&P 400, S&P 600, MSCI EAFE, MSCI EM, Russell 2000, and Russell1000, to name a few.

Beta+In this group we include every product that offers any level of leverage or inverseimplementation. For example, an ETF offering access to twice the daily returnsof the S&P 500 on either direction (long or short) would be classified under thiscategory.

ActiveClassifying products in this group is still easy; basically if the ETF doesn’t trackany index then we classify the fund as active.

Enhanced Beta (aka Smart Beta)This category is reserved for those ETFs that also track an index, but whichfollow more elaborated strategies. After defining an index universe, there aretwo main levers that determine most of the risk/return profile of the index: (1)

the selection criteria, and (2) the weighting criteria. In their selection process,enhanced beta ETFs usually employ additional screening processes and scoringsystems involving multiple factors beyond just minimum market cap and liquiditylevels. For example, they could include growth or value scores, dividends paidor dividend yield, earnings, volatility, or momentum screens, to name a few. Theweighting methodology of enhanced beta ETFs is usually anything but marketcap weighted, it can include simple equal weighting or variations of it, optimizedweights, and other metric-specific weights such as those based on dividendspaid, inverse volatility, dividend yield, fundamental multi factor scores, earnings,and revenues, to name a few. An enhanced beta ETF will either have a non-traditional selection methodology, a non-traditional weighting methodology, or acombination of both.

Product Type Definitions

Asset Allocation ETFsThis group covers all ETFs with exception of levered and inverse products. Theseare usually good products for market access strategies, portfolio completion, andcore positions. They are also efficient building blocks for multi asset strategies.When selecting these products, major emphasis should be set on the desiredexposure, tracking efficiency, primary liquidity (i.e. the liquidity of the underlyingbasket), and cost.

Cash Management ETFsThis group covers a more selected group of ETFs which in addition to beinggood asset allocation tools, also serves a series of cash management portfolioneeds. For example, these products are very good for equitizing cash betweentransitions, around reporting periods (window dressing), and during tax lossharvesting. These ETFs usually have good liquidity, large fund size, and lowcost, all of which makes it easier to execute sizeable short-term transactions,therefore secondary market liquidity and fund size tend to be a more relevantfactor compared to asset allocation ETFs. The most popular asset allocation usageof these funds is as core building blocks.

Pseudo Futures ETFsThis group covers an even more selected sample of ETFs which in additionto being good asset allocation and cash management tools can also be usedfor fulfilling risk management functions such as risk hedging, portable alphastrategies, or tactical shorts. Many times they also trade at a cheaper level thantheir underlying basket, and offer large amounts of liquidity which can make themattractive for market making activities as well. Secondary and short liquidity (easeto borrow), and fund size tend to be more relevant characteristics at the momentof selecting this type of ETFs. There is usually no more than one pseudo futuresETF per asset class. The most popular asset allocation usage of these fundsis among portfolios that require more liquidity given their size or more tacticalnature.

Hypothetical Disclaimer

Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performancerecord based on trading actual client portfolios, simulated results are achieved by means of the retroactive applicationof a backtested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. Taking into account historical events the backtestingof performance also differs from actual account performance because an actual investment strategy may be adjustedany time, for any reason, including a response to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performanceincludes hypothetical results that do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the deduction ofadvisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid.No representation is made that any trading strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar tothose shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly different results and prove tobe more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actualresults will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis.

For an investor who is long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows),increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss.

The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be theloss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adversemacroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibility(which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and settlement issuesrelated to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income instrumentsto macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or tospecified interest rates – these are common in emerging markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may -- byconstruction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of theproper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed toa typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledgethat funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally,options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.??Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including, among others, market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk.The appropriateness or otherwise of these products for use by investors is dependent on the investors' own circumstancesincluding their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities, and as such,investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into any transaction similar to or inspired by thecontents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As aresult of the high degree of leverage obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greaterthan the amount of funds initially deposited. Trading in options involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Priorto buying or selling an option investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-risks.jsp.

Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: ( i)exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; ( ii) the value of currencies may be affected bynumerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity anddebt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation or government imposedexchange controls which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values areaffected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume currency risk.?
