Opalesque Roundup: Passive equity strategies see the largest combined inflow quarter for the last 15 years: hedge fund news, week

Monday, June 08, 2020

In the week ending June 5th 2020, a report by eVestment said that institutional investors allocated +$49.4 bn to passive U.S. equity and +$61.2 bn to passive non-U.S. equity strategies in Q1 marking the largest combined inflow quarter since at least 2005. Traditional asset managers reported institutional assets under management of $28.3 trillion through Q1 2020. Net institutional flows totaled +$59.9 billion in the most recent quarter and -$117.7 billion over the last four quarters.

As the global COVID-19 pandemic picked up speed in Q1 and countries around the world went into various versions of lockdown, fixed-income and active equity strategies were among the hardest hit with investor redemptions, according to the just published eVestment Q1 2020 Institutional Investment Traditional Asset Flows Report. Long-only asset managers reporting to eVestment had Q1 2020 institutional assets under management (AUM) of $28.3 trillion at the end of last quarter. Net institutional flows totaled +$59.9 billion in the most recent quarter and -$117.7 billion over the last four quarters.
