LSEG Lipper: European fund flow report - January 2024

Oh, wait a minute!

'What?'

I've got to rearrange this PR email, Voice. They've put Detlef with his comments first for some reason.

'Ha, ha, ha! Is that Nsikan again, boss? He really is going to get the sack.'

No, no, it's, uh ... Hayley.

'Hayley?!'

Yeah.

Never mind.

Anyway ...

Key findings:

The promoters of mutual funds (+€22.5 bn) and ETFs (+€21.0 bn) enjoyed estimated net inflows for the month.
Long-term products (+€15.3 bn) enjoyed inflows for the month.
Bond products (+€29.7 bn) was the best-selling asset type for January 2024.
Money Market USD (+€11.2 bn) was the best-selling Lipper Classification for January 2024.
BlackRock was the best-selling fund promoter in Europe for January (+€7.3bn)

Okay. That's the key findings.

This is Detlef -

Detlef Glow, Head of Lipper EMEA Research at LSEG comments: "This month was somewhat business as usual. However, it is still surprising that European investors prefer bond funds over money market products, given the inverted yield curves in the major economies around the globe.

"In addition, it is noteworthy that one of the major trends from 2023 (active managed U.S. equity funds faced outflows, while ETFs enjoyed inflows) continued in January 2024."

Thanks, Detlef.

'Don't be too hard on Hayley, Detlef.'

Yeah, it was only a mistake.

Best,

Hayley

All right, Hayley.

'Boss.'

What?

'What about the report?'

You mean the PDF?

'Yeah.'

You mean you want to see what a mess Lucky has made of it, or is making off it as we speak - I mean, he's in that PDF attachment now, isn't he?

'Doing God knows what.'

Yes, doing God knows what. And you want to witness it?

'Just a quick peek.'

Uh.

Come on, Lucky.

No, we've had all this already in other reports.

'It's repetition, boss!'

But not as we know it, Voice.

Oh, repetition. Lucky doesn't know how to get a-ROUND. He can't spin. He hasn't got the brains for it.

'It takes real brains!'

Of course it does.
