ETP AUM is up by 14.8% ($439bn).These AUM levels are very close to our 2016

total to over +$300bn. Global YTD flows are also in-line with our 2016 projections
of +$335bn (base case) highlighted in previous publication. November inflows
were driven by US ETPs bringing in massive +$48.4bn in new money, followed
by Europe (+$4.7bn) and Asia-Pac ETPs (+$2.5bn).
Global investor positioning: Broad DM and Europe preferred, EM retreat,
Inflows to Japan, outflows from China
Based on November flows to ETFs listed globally with regional focus, Broad
(global) DM have been most favored receiving major inflows while Broad
(global)EM experienced redemptions. Although both the categories were on
top receiving positive flows on YTD basis. Major highlight of the month was
DM Europe receiving its first monthly inflows after retreating heavily since
January this year. Trump’s unexpected win in the US election has triggered a
reassessment of the US and global macro outlook, leading to DM equities rally,
and EM sell-off. These trends may continue, but risks remain significant.

IMF Working paper-The Impact of Demographics on Productivity and Inflation in Japan
December 8, 2016--Summary: Is Japan's aging and, more recently, declining population hampering growth and reflation efforts? Exploiting demographic and economic variation in prefectural data between 1990 and 2007, we find that aging of the working age population has had a significant negative impact on total factor productivity.
Moreover, prefectures that aged at a faster pace experienced lower overall inflation, while prefectures with higher population growth experienced higher inflation. The results give strong support to the notion that demographic headwinds can have a non-trivial impact on total factor productivity and deflationary pressures.
