Monday Morning Memo: Rough market conditions take their toll on mutual fund flows in Europe

October 29, 2018--Looking at the headline figures, the first nine months of 2018 seem to have been rough for the European fund industry. Even though the assets under management (AUM) (€10.7 tr) increased over the course of the year so far, the industry failed to attract significant new money.

The net fund flows stood at €5.9 bn at the end of September. A closer view of the underlying trends shows that European investors have started to pull out money from bond funds and surprisingly also from money market products. The general fund-flow trends are a reaction of European investors to the recent geopolitical uncertainty and the increasing interest rates.

Euro area economic and financial developments by institutional sector: second quarter of 2018

October 26, 2018--Euro area net saving increased to €800 billion in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2018, compared with €765 billion in the four quarters to the previous quarter.
