DAX and S&P ETFs Benefit in August. Deutsche Bank – Synthetic Equity & Index Strategy – Europe. Europe Monthly ETF Market Review – DAX and S&P ETFs Benefit in August
August European ETP Highlights
As of the end of August 2014, global ETP assets approached $2.56 trillion rising by $295bn (+13%) year-to-date. In August, European ETPs had another month with healthy inflows registering +€6.1bn of cash inflows (+€8bn in the prev. month). Equity and fixed income ETFs were the major contributors of inflows receiving +€3.8bn and +€2.2bn respectively. ETPs tracking commodities experienced negligible net outflows in August.
2014 has seen record inflows in Europe, surpassing growth in US
Our review of year-to-date flows indicate that the European ETP market has received record inflows in 2014 surpassing most of the full year flows observed in recent years. The +€37bn of net inflow observed this year represents a 12% growth in assets versus 6% observed in the US. Based on trends observed in recent years, where the period between September and December has experienced significant inflows, we see potential of further growth in the European ETPs this year. Further, it is also worth noting that the European ETF turnover as a percentage of the region’s cash equities turnover, increased to 8.5% (from 7.4% in Jul’14) as of the end of August 2014.
Buying of DAX ETFs as market hits YTD lows in August
The standout recipient of ETF investment within European equity markets was the DAX. We observed over +€800m of net inflows into DAX based products in August despite the sell-off in German equities in early August. The market weakness was likely attributed to the geopolitical situation in the region. ETF investors used this opportunity to buy in the dips potentially in anticipation of further monetary easing by the ECB (announcement on Sep 4th).
New equal weight S&P ETF launched by db x-Trackers, European cost competitive S&P 500 ETFs continue to benefit
db x-Trackers launched an equal weight S&P 500 ETF which attracted over +€140m of inflows. Meanwhile, cost competitive European products by Vanguard and iShares tracking the S&P 500 continued with the previous months trend of collecting record flows.
HSBC Smart Beta ETF accumulating assets
The HSBC ESI Worldwide Equity UCITSETF which was launched in June this year has had relatively significant inflows over the last two months. The total assets under management of the fund underlying the ETF are currently just shy of USD 1bn. The fund objective is to replicate the performance of the HSBC Economic Scale Index Worldwide.
I denna text tittar vi närmare på olika börshandlade produkter som ger exponering mot Sui. Precis som för många andra kryptovalutor och tokens finns det flera olika börshandlade produkter som spårar Sui. Vi har identifierar tre stycken sådana produkter.
De olika produkterna skiljer sig en del åt, en del av emittenter av ETPer arbetar med så kallad staking för vissa kryptovalutor, vilket gör att förvaltningsavgiften kan pressas ned. Det är emellertid inte så att alla dessa börshandlade produkter är identiska varför det är viktigt att läsa på.

Dogecoin’s performance and staying power across multiple market cycles suggest it is not “just another one of those memecoins”.
Over the past decade, DOGE has outperformed even Bitcoin, delivering over 133,000% in returns, nearly 1,000x BTC’s gains in the same period. Despite deep drawdowns during bear markets, Dogecoin has shown remarkable structural resilience.
Following each major rally, it has consistently formed higher lows, a pattern of long-term appreciation and compounding strength.
Historically, Dogecoin has closely mirrored Bitcoin’s movements, often peaking a few weeks after. While 2024 saw Bitcoin dominate headlines following landmark ETF approvals, DOGE still followed its trajectory, though it has yet to stage its typical delayed breakout.
As macro uncertainty continues to fade and momentum returns to the market, retail participation is likely to accelerate, setting up conditions in which Dogecoin has historically thrived.
At the same time, regulatory clarity around Dogecoin has improved. The SEC recently confirmed that most memecoins are not considered securities, comparing them to collectibles. Additionally, they clarified that proof-of-work rewards, like those earned from mining DOGE, also fall outside that scope. These developments further legitimize Dogecoin’s role in the ecosystem, potentially setting the stage for its next paw up, especially as it now holds a firm base around $0.17, nearly 3x its pre-rally level before reaching a new all-time high in the last cycle.
In addition to its long-term performance, Dogecoin stands out as an asset that behaves asymmetrically, offering investors a rare source of uncorrelated returns across both traditional and crypto portfolios. With an average correlation of just 15% to major assets, DOGE’s price action remains largely detached from broader macroeconomic trends, reinforcing its value as a true diversification tool.
Dogecoin demonstrates significant independence within the crypto market, with its correlation to Bitcoin at only 31% and to Ethereum at 37%. This divergence stems from unique capital flow dynamics, where higher-beta assets like DOGE tend to rally after blue-chip crypto assets reach major milestones.
While Bitcoin slowly evolves into a digital store of value and Ethereum powers decentralized infrastructure, Dogecoin remains largely a cultural asset, thriving on narrative momentum and crowd psychology, offering explosive upside when risk appetite surges.
For investors seeking an upside without mirroring the behavior of core holdings, Dogecoin offers a compelling case. Its ability to decouple from market trends while tapping into more speculative surges makes it a powerful, though unconventional, addition to a portfolio with wildcard potential.
