FT Alphaville " Record bond ETP inflows last month (shocking, we know) Posted by Cardiff Garcia on Jun 06 19:58. From "The LTROs have saved Europe and US jobs are coming back!" to "Never mind, we might be even closer to econo-tastrophe than we were last year" in just five months - via Credit Suisse Trading Strategy: Here is additional detail from the report: The $10bn of bond inflows set another monthly record for the assetclass. Year-to-date, bond ETPs have accumulated over $32bn ofinflows, which is the most through the first 5 months of the year by alarge margin (previous high was in 2009, with $22bn through May). Pimco's BOND ETF had its best month with nearly $600mm in inflows, representing an increase of over 60%. Treasuries were high in demand during May (BIL, IEI, TLT, IEF) as investors sought safety. Riskier (and higher beta) exposures were dialed back in May as evidenced by outflows in emerging markets, small caps, and junk bonds. VIX ETPs also had outflows as the spike in volatility led to profittaking and position rebalancing. Whole thing available in the usual place.
