UCITS and alternative investment funds (AIFs) registered net outflows of 鈧�38 billion in November 2018, compared to net inflows of 鈧�1 billion in October, according to The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA).
This development was mainly due to a turnaround in net sales of money market funds in both the UCITS and AIF markets.
UCITS recorded net outflows of 鈧�40 billion, compared to net outflows of 鈧�8 billion in October.
Long-term UCITS (UCITS excluding money market funds) continued to suffer from net outflows, albeit at a lower level (鈧�27 billion, compared to 鈧�41 billion in October).
Net sales of equity funds rebounded to a positive level (鈧�3 billion, compared to net outflows of 鈧�2 billion in October.
Net outflows from bond funds slowed down to 鈧�17 billion, from 鈧�24 billion in October.
Multi-asset funds recorded stronger net outflows (鈧�8 billion, compared to 鈧�5 billion in October).
UCITS money market funds experienced net outflows of EUR 13 billion, compared to net inflows of EUR 33 billion in October.
AIFs recorded net inflows of 鈧�2 billion, down from 鈧�9 billion in October.
Total net assets of UCITS and AIFs decreased by 0.3 percent to 鈧�15.7 billion.
Bernard Delbecque, senior director for economics and research, EFAMA, commented: 鈥淟ong-term UCITS continued to suffer from negative net sales in November, although less markedly than in October, in part thanks to a rebound in net sales of equity funds.鈥�
