volatility

Multi-factor ETFs have gained solid inflows since the February dip as investors are keen to diversify and avoid market timing.

Growth stocks are back in business after the market meltdown earlier this month shows no sign of serious deterioration, according to experts.

Institutional investors are allocating to ETFs more than ever driven by market volatility, concerns about liquidity in the bond space and a desire to take advantage of the latest bouts of outperformance, according to a study conducted by Greenwich Associates.

ETFs globally have seen record inflows this year, with investors pouring money into equity, fixed income and smart beta alike, but investors and regulators are now worried these vehicles could become the source of increased volatility in current uncertain markets.
