2016 MID-YEAR EDITION EUROPEAN FUND MARKET REVIEW
broadridge.com
OVERVIEW
The asset management world can change with what seems like the
blink of an eye. After a year in which numerous sales records were
hit, 2016 began with investors still sulking over the US interest rate
rise that occurred in December, but it was the sharp correction to the
Chinese bourses that then sent them into an almighty huff. This negative
cycle lasted for two months, hitting the global markets broadside on.
Ironically, investor portfolios in the Asian region experienced the least
pain but this was mainly the result of Japan stepping up its quantitative-
easing programme and fuelling demand for ETFs. Europe, though, fared
worse than any other region during the first half, weighed down not
only by the Chinese crash but also by local issues.
Volatile is the only way to describe the European markets during
the first half of 2016. After the investment hiatus that occurred at
the start of the year, mainstream retail savers called time on fund
investing and seem to have been hiding in deposits ever since. This left
institutions and sophisticated investors in control and their appetite
became increasingly short term as winter turned to summer. Net
flows started the year in redemption over China and they ended the
half year in redemption over Brexit. Sandwiched in between there
were some good months fuelled by the ECB’s promise to buy high-
grade corporate bonds. The front-runners took to the tracks without a
moment’s hesitation, pumping money into a variety of corporate and
emerging market bond funds. Net sales into long-term funds bounced
from redemption to solid inflows between March and May, but then
came Brexit and a second bout of derisking in anticipation of the vote.
By the end of the first half the gains made in the good months were
overwhelmed by the withdrawals and Europe ended the six-month
period with net redemptions of €11bn in the long-term asset classes.
The Asian region, on the other hand, topped the regional scoreboard
with inflows of €40bn, followed by the US with €36bn.
Equities were the Achilles heel of most regional industries. Regardless
of market health and periodic rebounds, investors refused to see their
attractions and every month to the end of June ended in redemption
for this asset class. In fact, by the end of the first half cumulative equity
fund redemptions were higher than in any like-for-like period since the
financial crisis in 2008. It was not so much a case of investors being
risk-off; rather they chose to take risk through fixed income and mixed
asset funds. Thus various styles of corporate and global currency
bonds scored solid inflows, whilst almost all regional equities – Europe
in particular – were sold off. There were two areas of residual equity
interest, namely, emerging markets and alternative equity products,
both offering the hope of uncorrelated returns.
Mixed asset funds were last year’s arena of bonanza sales flows. This
year the asset class has so far maintained its sales strength against
all other categories but volumes have plummeted. In the first half of
2015 net inflows soared to €131bn, their best experience on record.
In the same period this year, net receipts were a diminutive €24bn.
One important factor in their relative demise is the lack of activity by
Europe’s large captive banks in sales generation through new product
initiatives – another sign that their mainstream savers are out of play.
RELENTLESS RISE OF ETFS
Market volatility in the recent months has shown investors to be
pumping money into active funds when they are in a buying frenzy,
but passive funds when they are in a more negative cycle. Even so,
passive funds continue to generate consistent inflows regardless of
market cycle and as investment horizons become more short term
their interest in ETFs becomes more noticeable. These behavioural
patterns are nowhere more evident than in equities where ETFs, in
particular, generated net inflows of €41bn in the first half compared
with redemptions of €60bn from their actively managed counterparts.
This is a trend that has been developing over a number of years and
cannot be dismissed as temporary. Indeed, the volumes seen so far this
year, across all asset classes, represent a 65% increase on the full-year
volumes seen in 2015 – and, what’s more, 2015 was a record year for
the sales of ETFs.
MARKET SUCCESS
Ignoring money market funds, which continue to be the mainstay of
French sales success, the spotlight in the first half of the year was on
Germany and Switzerland. The German market was very slow to recover
from the financial crisis but in the last three years sales volumes have
been building progressively. Institutions have played an important role
in this momentum, through ETFs, specially designed index tracker funds
and, increasingly, renewed interest in real estate funds. Mixed asset
funds have also proved to be a popular option, particularly for retail
investors and here independent boutiques like Flossbach von Storch
have been rising high. Sophisticated investors and institutions are
also a feature of the Swiss market and, here, equities retained some of
their sparkle although it was institutional index trackers that were the
primary driving force.
Much lower down the rankings was Spain and here a warning flag is
flying, particularly for cross-border groups that enjoyed huge sales flows
via funds of funds in 2015. Spanish banks have once again turned their
backs on this product and are instead feeding their captive clients on a
new diet of protected and guaranteed funds. Money is being sucked out
of funds of funds and cross-border groups, in consequence, are finding
the market much more challenging.
THE FALL OF THE GIANTS
With new money hard to find and investors withdrawing from risk-
based funds, Europe’s largest groups have taken an inevitable hit. One
of the sad rules of asset management is that success breeds profit
takers so those with the largest book of assets tend to see the biggest
outflows. Not so Nordea, which has been riding the mixed asset wave
over the past two years. Its success has not yet peaked and, in fact,
troubled investors are herding into its Stable Return fund in numbers
not seen since the heady days of Carmignac’s Patrimoine fund. Nordea
is not the only success story; bubbling in the background is a battle
for alternative mixed asset propositions being fought out between
Standard Life and pretenders to the throne, Invesco and Aviva. Aviva
has had the best of the sales battle this year, sufficient to rank it second
after Nordea. Clearly it is not an even fight because Standard Life is
handicapped by its considerable book of legacy assets, but the interplay
will be interesting to watch in the coming months.

FOOTNOTES
1. All data is at June 2016 unless otherwise stated.
2. ‘International’ fund market. Broadridge defines an International fund as a fund
that sources less than 80% of its assets from any single country. Some fund groups
have domestic and international funds.
3. ‘Domestic’ fund market. If a fund sources more than 80% of its assets from a single
country then the fund is allocated to that market regardless of its domicile.
4. Funds of funds have been excluded from all charts and tables (to avoid double-
counting) unless otherwise stated. Therefore a market total is the sum of all the
investment categories excluding the three funds of funds categories
(in-house, ex-house and hedge).
5. The investment category ‘other’ includes a variety of different product categories.
For most markets, especially Belgium, Spain and France, the figure comprises
guaranteed funds, but there are also derivatives and other speciality funds in the
‘other’ category.
6. Property funds are open-ended property funds only.
7. Master group. Analysis that aggregates the European mutual fund assets under the
umbrella of their parent company name. ENS stands for estimated net sales.
8. ETFs are included in broadridge’s database on mutual funds, but this excludes
exchange-traded commodity products that are not mutual funds.
9. References to foreign activity relate to actual sales as measured by Broadridge’s
SalesWatch confidential service. The 58 SalesWatch members are estimated to
account for 75-80% of total cross-border sales activity.
The following report is based on the unique fund flows information delivered through
Broadridge FundFile, our leading global fund flows database. The charts and tables in
this report reflect only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the depth and breadth available
from Broadridge FundFile. The report offers a high-level overview of European fund
flow activity for 2016 year to date.
Broadridge FundFile enables deep fund flows analysis of all key geographical markets,
covering Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and the U.S., and
delivers a truly global fund flows solution. By gradually building the international reach
of its global sales data and maintaining its high quality and ease of use over the past
ten years, FundFile has become the unparalleled source of data and analysis, with
information on more than 100,000 funds.
The cross-border dimension of the European funds industry–the “international” fund
market–can truly be assessed only with Broadridge SalesWatch, a unique cooperative
and confidential benchmarking service that allows leading fund groups to track their
cross-border sales and assets against their competitors’ by country, distribution
channel, institutional versus retail activity, and both gross and net sales. This service
now counts 58 of the leading asset managers among its members. (Some sample data
taken from the tool can be seen on pages 18 and 19 of the current report).
