Isabelle Bourcier : Do you see an increase in the use of ETFs among asset managers? Institutional investors ? And distributors ?

Asset managers remain large users of ETFs, especially those specialized in mixed asset allocations as these products enable them to build diversified portfolios on whatever asset classes. On the institutional side, there is also a strong demand, investors often use passive index funds in their asset allocation, adding ESG and/or decarbonization filters. Finally, for private banks and IFAs, it is clear that the implementation of MIFID II in 2018 will attract more and more interest from them.
