The Australian Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market grew by $11.6 billion (+3.1%) over the month to $382.5 billion across 506 products. 11 new ETFs were launched in August, spanning a broad range of strategies including multi-asset, fixed income, and both global and Australian equity exposures.
The Australian ETF market has grown 27.8% over the past year and is running at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.0% p.a. This growth was driven by $64.6 billion in net inflows over the past year, positive market movements, and unlisted funds converting into active ETFs.
August set another record for Australian ETF flows, with $6.9 billion following July’s $6.8 billion, underscoring an industry going from strength to strength. Total inflows have now reached ~$43.4 billion year-to-date, placing the industry on a trajectory to surpass last year's record-breaking $53 billion and potentially cement 2026 as a record-breaking year for ETF popularity in Australia.
