Monday Morning Memo: Review 2018-Rough Markets took their toll from the European Fund Industry

February 4, 2019--The European fund industry faced estimated net outflows of €129.2 bn in 2018 after six consecutive years with net inflows. The flows were mainly driven by the discussions about a possible trade war between the USA and China, as well as a possible return of the Euro crisis caused by developments in Italy and France, and an environment of rising interest rates in the USA.

With regard to this, it was not surprising that 2018 wasn't another record year for the European fund industry. That said, even as the general environment was negative, some fund promoter could still enjoyed significant inflows. It was also not surprising the European fund industry experienced further mergers and acquisitions on the asset manager side, as well as in the service provider segment

FCA publishes its second set of rules following its Asset Management Market Study

February 4, 2019--The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published new rules and guidance to improve the quality of the information available to consumers about the funds they invest in.
The asset management industry plays an important role in the UK's economy. Asset managers seek returns for investors by investing in a variety of assets.

Over £1 trillion is managed for individual investors and £3 trillion on behalf of UK pension funds and other institutional investors. The FCA's asset management market study presented evidence of weak price competition in many areas of the asset management industry. This means lower returns for savers, pensioners and other investors.

The FCA has acted to tackle the issues found. In April 2018, the FCA introduced new rules to ensure fund managers act as agents of investors in their funds.
