Monday Morning Memo: Bonds were European Investors Darlings in February
March 25, 2019--The negative trend with regard to fund flows in Europe continued in February even as the securities markets rebounded. As a consequence, February was the tenth month in a row long-term mutual funds posted net outflows after 16 consecutive months of net inflows.
Given the current interest rate environment, it was surprising that bond funds (+€7.6 bn) were the best-selling asset type in the segment of long-term mutual funds, followed by real estate funds (+€0.2 bn) and "other" funds (+€0.1 bn). All other asset types faced outflows: alternative UCITS funds (-€8.6 bn), equity funds (-€4.2 bn), mixed-asset funds (-€3.3 bn), and “other” funds (-€0.8 bn).
These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €8.9 bn from long-term investment funds for February. ETFs contributed inflows of €14.1 bn to these flows.
