Exchange-traded funds continued to attract inflows from investors in 2022, albeit at a slower pace thanks to rising interest rates and market volatility. Resources and mining-focused funds were clear standouts in a challenging year.

The announcement comes amid a major push into the domestic market for Global X, which in December signaled its intention to launch ten new products in 2023.
