Summary: Net fund flow from bond and cash ETF sector; 4 ETFs issues additional units, 3 ETFs repurchase units; unit prices generally higher; ILB largest percentage price increase; SUBD largest percentage price decrease.

Investor interest in the Australian bond and cash ETF sector waned ever-so-slightly this week as four of the 37 ETFs in the sector experienced net inflows while three experienced net outflows. The sector’s market capitalisation increased by 1.2% as the minor net ouflow was more than offset by generally higher ETF prices.
