“Record government deficits and tighter bank lending means people, companies, and countries will increasingly turn to markets to finance their retirements, their business, and their economies”, he continued. 

The firm’s ETFs pulled in $97 billion during the quarter, bringing the annual total to $248 billion. $48 billion went to fixed income, $32 billion to core equity and precision ETFs $20 billion, according to the company.

“We’re seeing a broadening of ETF adaptation globally, leading to increased levels of utilization which we believe will only continue”, Fink predicted.
