Welcome to the source of independent authoritative data and analysis on Europe's mutual fund markets.

November 2011 in Brief

The European funds industry saw outflows of €9bn in November, the best for six months thanks to inflows of €18.3bn into money market products.

Long-term funds suffered redemptions of €27.3bn (excluding money market funds), a move for the worse after last month’s improvement (-€14.5bn).

Standard Life topped the group sales chart this month, with net sales of €1.1bn, ahead of Prudential/M&G (€680m). Both groups enjoyed inflows across bond, equity and mixed asset products.

Bond funds suffered outflows of €13.6bn as investors withdrew from both Global Bonds (-€1.2bn) and high yield products (-€1.5bn). This total was worse than for equity funds for the first time since April. 

Sales activity for long-term funds may well finish with more than €45bn of outflows in 2011, although this masks a significant divide between the first half of the year (inflows of €96bn) and the second half (outflows around €140bn).
