Okay, okay.
I'm still a bit spaced out from the hypnosis, actually. And I'm thinking about my new song. I've finished it! 'Yippee!'
Anyway ...

'And what does our Detlef say, boss? Come on!'
Christ.
Be patient, Voice. Please. 'Okay.'
Thank you.
Detlef will speak when he wants to.
And I don't want to rush this. 'What about your music?' In the minute!
Okay.
Detlef, are you ready, son?
Detlef?
'Where is he?!'
Detlef! Come on!
Detlef Glow, Lipper Head of EMEA Research at Refinitiv, comments: "December 2020 was another positive month for the European ETF industry since promoters enjoyed inflows. These inflows occurred in a surprisingly positive market environment in which investor sentiment was impacted by the aftermath of the presidential election in the US, the increasing dynamics of The Thing, and a possible hard Brexit."
Okay. Thanks, Detlef.
'Hang on, boss!'
What? Oh ...
"The positive performance of the underlying markets led in combination with the estimated net inflows to increasing assets under management (from €952.5 bn as of October 31, 2020, to €992.6 bn at the end of December). The increase of €40.0 bn for December was driven by estimated net sales (+€23.2 bn), while the performance of the underlying markets contributed €16.8 bn to the increase of the assets under management. It was not surprising equity funds (€676.0 bn) held the majority of assets, followed by bond funds (€271.3 bn), commodities products (€35.7 bn), alternative UCITS products (€5.0 bn), money market funds (€2.6 bn), mixed-assets funds (€1.8 bn), and 'other' funds (€0.2 bn)."
Right. Thanks, man.
