The volume of assets entrusted by investors in Switzerland to the fund industry came to CHF 1,368,434 million in February 2021 (January 2021: CHF 1,343,871 million).

"Following the setback experienced in January, many financial markets staged a recovery in February. With the exception of the SMI, which remained slightly in negative territory, the leading stock markets posted renewed gains. The trend in terms of net inflows continued in February, but it slowed down a little. Bond and equity funds attracted the most new money," explained Adrian Schatzmann, CEO of the Asset Management Association Switzerland.

The CHF lost 1.56% against the EUR and 2.01% against the USD.

Outflows mainly affected money market funds (-CHF 2.8 billion).
