Global exchange traded products (ETPs) have received $30.5 billion in funds under management (FUM) flows in September, after US and Japanese equities increase in demand, according to Blackrock.

The global fund manager said half of those inflows came from investors that anticipated central bank movements from the Fed (in the US) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ).

Such flows pushed global ETPs year-on-year to $243.8 billion, up from 2015's record setting high, Blackrock said.

US equities generated $9.7 billion, amid improving economic data as the Fed opted to hold rates steady, while Japanese equities brought in $9.3 billion, entirely from local providers, as the BoJ pledged additional extraordinary stimulus to combat weak economic growth.

Meanwhile, broad emerging markets (EM) also gained momentum and collected $2.7 billion in funds, which marked the fourth consecutive month of positive inflows. This took the EM ETP sector to $25.7 billion year-to-date.

Fixed income also added $9.5 million in September, while EM debt rose $1.8 billion, which drove year-to-date flows to $14.5 billion, which surpassed the 2012 full-year flow record of $8.2 billion.

Investment grade corporate bonds also drew in $3.4 billion and year-to-date flows of $32.6 billion, which both surpassed last year's records.
