Fund-tracker Morningstar Inc. predicts that by 2020, ETFs listed in Europe will have more than $1 trillion in assets under management. Currently, there is about $700 billion invested in European ETFs, according to Jose Garcia-Zarate, associate director of passive-strategies research at Morningstar. “We’ve seen the European ETF market shifting to a higher gear,” Mr. Garcia-Zarate says. “The regulation will improve transparency, liquidity and price discovery for European ETFs,” says Mr. Craswell of Brown Brothers. As such, it “has the potential to dramatically increase the ETF market in Europe,” he says.
