Monday Morning Memo: European Investors Shy Further Away From Mutual Funds in January 2019

February 24, 2019--The negative trend with regard to fund flows in Europe continued in January, even as the securities markets showed a rebound. As a consequence, January was the ninth month in a row long-term mutual funds posted net outflows after 16 consecutive months of net inflows.

It was surprising that bond funds (+€12.7 bn) were the best-selling asset type in the segment of long-term mutual funds, followed by real estate funds (+€1.0 bn). All other asset types faced outflows: alternative UCITS funds (-€7.7 bn), equity funds (-€7.4 bn), mixed-asset funds (-€3.5 bn), commodity funds (-€1.1 bn), and "other" funds (-€1.0 bn).

These fund flows added up to overall net outflows of €7.0 bn from long-term investment funds for January. ETFs contributed inflows of €8.1 bn to these flows. FCA says Mifid II to cut investor costs by £1bn. New EU rules on the funding of investment research are set to deliver £1bn in savings for UK fund investors over the next five years, the Financial Conduct Authority has said.
