Opalesque Industry Update - The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has today published its latest Investment Funds Industry Fact Sheet, which provides net sales of UCITS and AIF for July 2017. 29 associations representing more than 99 percent of total UCITS and AIF assets provided us with net sales data.

The main developments in July 2017 can be summarized as follows:

  • UCITS registered net inflows of EUR 83 billion, up from EUR 34 billion in June.
