Data from ETFGI shows that $ a record $81.9 billion flowed into fixed income ETFs in 2014 . Nevertheless, the Bank of International Settlements has issued a warning on the perceived liquidity or “liquidity illusion” of bond ETFs. Andrew McCollum , an analyst at ETF , told the FT that trading volume in the five largest bond ETFs have risen much faster than their asset growth since 2008 , suggesting that intraday liquidity has been an important factor for investors who want to quickly weave in and out of the market. However, ETF has warned that investors may find it difficult to liquidate their Greenwich Associates holdings in a steep market sell-off.
