Recent years have seen phenomenal growth in the global ETF markets. Global assets in ETFs have reached a new record high of US$3 trillion, including nearly US$450 billion in Europe.
Their transparency and capacity to be traded like a stock intraday is behind the success of the growth of ETFs. Case in point: 66% of European ETFs are listed on two or more Stock Exchanges.

To help asset managers list and distribute ETFs, PwC Luxembourg has just released the 2015 edition of its European ETF Listing and Distribution.
This tool, which has become a reference for the industry, provides an overview of the cross-border ETFs distribution, their country of origin, the top 15 of cross-border ETF management groups, target markets for distribution and top European Stock Exchanges for the listing of ETFs. This third edition confirms that Luxembourg is a location of choice to distribute ETFs.

Christophe Saint-Mard, partner and ETF Leader at PwC Luxembourg, commented:

“The leading management group  has chosen Luxembourg to domicile ETFs. Luxembourg is a hot spot for cross-border ETF distribution. With its regulator ensuring fast reactivity to financial market moves, its top quality services and its expertise, Luxembourg has a strong card to play.” 

The European ETF Listing and Distribution Poster is available on PwC Luxembourg website.
