New fund launches set to drop by 30%

May 31, 2012--The number of new fund launches will drop dramatically over the coming year as Europe contends with an overabundance of funds which are either too small or too poor in quality, according to research firm Cerulli Associates.

In its May 2012 analysis of the European fund industry the group said that while the fund launch rate slowed down in 2011 it expects it to drop by a further 30%.

Cerulli said the average European portfolio is getting smaller, not larger, as assets decline faster than fund numbers in France, Germany and Spain.

EFAMA publishes Annual Asset Management Report: Facts & Figures in Europe

May 31, 2012--The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has today published EFAMA's Fifth Annual Review Asset Management in Europe: Facts & Figures, using data as at end 2010. This review provides a snapshot of the industry looking at its overall size, general structure, asset allocation and client base.

This year’s review highlights the following statistics for 2010:

Assets under Management (AuM) in Europe enjoyed strong growth of 10% in 2010 to reach EUR 14.0 trillion at year end. Europe ranks as the second largest market in the global asset management industry, managing 33% of global assets under management.

Discretionary mandate assets represented EUR 7,131 billion or 50.8% of AuM at end 2010, whereas investment funds accounted for the remaining EUR 6,904 billion. Bond and equity remain asset managers preferred asset classes, with an asset allocation of 44% and 31% respectively of total AuM at end 2010.

More than 3,100 asset management companies were registered in Europe employing about 85,000 people directly at end 2010. Taking into account related services along the asset management value chain, the level of direct and indirect employment would increase to a significantly higher figure.

Asset management plays a key role in the financing of the European economy, thereby supporting economic growth. On the basis of data published by the European Central Bank and EFAMA’s calculations, European asset managers held 23% of the debt securities issued by euro area sectors at end 2010, and 31% of euro area companies’ total equity.

Asset management is highly concentrated in a limited number of countries. The top three countries -- the UK, France and Germany -- together accounted for 65% of total AuM in Europe at end 2010.
