JAN-JUN 2015 EUROPEAN FUND MARKET REVIEW—MID-YEAR REVIEW 2015

broadridge.com

OVERVIEWEurope was marked by fair weather and foul in the first half of 2015. On the upside Mario Draghi delivered a new round of quantitative easing, which was given sufficient advance airing to enable institutions and sophisticated investors to assign new money to the sectors most likely to benefit, namely Euro-denominated bonds. But umbrellas went up in May as clouds gathered around the possibility of Grexit, and impending rate rises in the US. Net sales of European retail funds responded in kind, soaring to their best levels on record (€80bn) in April, before falling to €4bn in May and then diving into redemption in June (-€25bn). By the end of the first half overall net flows were solid at €227bn but 14% down on the same period last year.

The mid-year slump that hit sales totals contained one important element of normality. This was the typical French liquidity cycle in which investors, mainly corporate treasurers, redeem their money market holdings to fund tax payments. Some €28bn was withdrawn from these funds as the first half ended, of which France was responsible for 75%. Excluding this customary money market distortion, the fund scene looked less dyspeptic with June reverting to diminutive inflows of €3bn. With or without money market funds, 2015 has so far been a slightly less spirited year for European asset managers than 2014.

Nonetheless, there will be few complaints from players with a strategic focus on mixed asset products. This asset class has been Europe’s outstanding success story, and one that seems to be resilient to all the economic headwinds that have dampened investment appetite. By the end of June these funds had registered net sales of €124bn, a figure that is just 5% off the record-breaking full-year total reached in 2014. Retail savers searching for yield have been the main driver of this extraordinary growth, helped along by their local bank providers. Funds of funds are an extension of the same dynamic and this is another sector that has witnessed exceptional growth, their first six-months’ inflows into open architecture products (€58bn) beating all previous full-year totals.

Despite fund selectors viewing equities and particularly European equities as offering greater value than most other sectors, investors have been reluctant to step much further up the risk ladder than mixed asset funds. Net inflows into stock funds have been slack to say the least. At €26bn for the first six months, including ETFs and those with passive strategies, equity funds remain 60% off their position in the equivalent period last year. There may be little new money streaming into equities but there seems to be plenty of movement between equity sectors. European equities ranked as the fourth-strongest sector, seemingly benefiting from investors cashing in their US stock funds and, increasingly, emerging markets.

The active/passive struggleNews stories abound in the battle for assets being fought between active fund managers and those in the expanding passive space. The reality is that in Europe passive funds still account for just 14% of total assets under management and ETFs for little more than 6%. However, their proportion of net sales is much larger and seems to be rising. So far this year passive funds have accounted for 25% of all net inflows, making it their second consecutive year of rising sales share. Within the passive segment, ETF sales are slightly above the traditional passive fund take but they are far from dictating the story line.

Pricing pressure is undoubtedly building in Europe and in those markets where a full commission-ban has been implemented the low-cost passive options have built considerable traction. However, until such restrictions are Europe-wide the appetite for actively managed funds remains overpowering. The current popularity of mixed asset funds is linked to the relative containment of passive success. Passive products in this arena are rare and as long as this remains the case, the index trackers will remain in the background.

Market successThe standard market rankings show cross-border groups, sourcing assets from multiple markets, as the most muscular in terms of sales generation. But which are the most promising markets, taking account of both foreign and domestic sales share? So far this year, according to Broadridge’s benchmarking service, SalesWatch, Italy continues to be the must-go-to market for cross-border players. With net sales of over €50bn so far this year, foreign groups have been responsible for 41%. But Spain has probably been more interesting. The strategic decision by local banks to feature third-party funds of funds has led to money being transferred from local single products, and heavily supplemented by substantial investment in foreign third-party products. Volumes for foreign groups remain below those of Italy but they seem to be catching up fast. Germany has also, finally, re-surfaced from the financial crisis and now ranks third in terms of sales success with foreign and local activity combined.

Competitor successWith retail investors hungry for funds those groups with high brand recognition or captive clients have had a good half year. BlackRock has scored the largest volume of inflows, standing head and shoulders above all its cross-border rivals, but Italy’s Intesa Sanpaolo, having successfully pioneered a range of mixed asset target maturity funds for its clients, is developing a strong head of steam. There is, though, a long tail of groups that have enjoyed inflows during the course of the year so concentration of business into the hands of a low number of groups is not a threat that should concern smaller players.

FOOTNOTES1. All data is year-to-date 2015 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 55 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 2015 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 55 of the leading asset managers among its members. (Some sample data taken from the tool can be seen on pages 19 and 20 of the current report).
