• 90% of wealth managers and IFAs expect to increase their exposure to thematic ETFs over the next 12 months, and 95% reported increasing client interest in thematic investing.
• The results are published in the first edition of HANetf’s Thematic Review.
• The Thematic Review will be published three times a year.
• The survey also revealed the themes that wealth managers and IFAs were most bullish on most notably on the Metaverse.

HANetf has published its first Thematic Review of 2022. The review contains an in-depth analysis of recent developments in the world of thematic ETFs, including the latest news and updates, thematic ETF performance, and a commentary on what we can expect for the remainder of 2022.

As part of the Thematic Review, HANetf also conducted an extensive thematic survey. The survey was circulated to wealth managers and IFAs across Europe, with a combined collective AUM of €136.125 billion.

The results of the survey indicated that 90% of respondents expect to increase their exposure to thematic ETFs over the next 12 months, and 95% reported increased client interest in thematic investing.

In 2019, European listed thematic ETFs had under $10 billion in AUM, and this has since risen to approximately $41 billion.  Overwhelmingly, the survey respondents expect the amount of AUM in thematic ETFs to reach at least $50 billion by the end of 2022.

The Thematic Review covers the first four months of 2022, and will be published each third of the year. As the ETF Issuer with the most extensive range of thematic ETFs the review is designed to provide the unique insights that HANetf enjoys due to its market leading position.

Hector McNeil, co-CEO and co-Founder of HANetf comments:

“We are thrilled to be publishing the HANetf Thematic Review, giving investors an in-depth look at the latest developments in the world of thematic ETFs. As the survey results in the Thematic Review show, thematic investing is becoming increasingly popular. At HANetf we believe that providing timely and high quality research and content is a must for any ETF issuer today. The Thematic Review will sit alongside the Monthly Reports we publish for each of our ETFs as vital reading for any investor.”
