The Australian Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) market grew $5.8 billion (+1.7%) over the month to $336.4 billion across 463 products. There was only one new ETF launch in January by Global X, being the first Australian listed global silver miners ETF (SLVM).
The Australian ETF market has grown 30.5% over the past year and is running at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.4% p.a. This growth was driven by $53.8 billion in net inflows over the past year, positive market movements, and unlisted funds converting into active ETFs.
Investors poured $5.3 billion in Australian ETFs in the first month of 2026, marking the best start to the year on record. All eyes will be on if 2026 can be another record-breaking year for ETFs, chasing down the $53 billion net flow number achieved in 2025.
