The Fund Radar toolkit includes data, reports, analysis and opinion in formats engineered for tacticians, strategists and time-poor senior executives. Below is a selection of our power tools.
Bringing together the latest data with cutting-edge analysis and commentary on both domestic and cross-border markets, these reports reveal market signals and trends that asset managers need to inform and guide business planning. First Sight outlines the sales headlines three weeks after month’s end, and is powered by data from Morningstar Direct. Second Sight delivers a much deeper exploration of monthly, quarterly, or annual fund flows and industry developments. The report analyses data from Broadridge FundFile and Fund Buyer Focus, and is published six weeks after month’s end.
We know that time is a precious commodity. That’s why, every month, we create an executive summary and infographic providing immediate insights into the most important activity of the period.

The cards are stacked against UK fund managers at the moment. Not only are they suffering from the uncertainties caused by Brexit but investor confidence is also being shaken by concerns about a global trade war. Sell-offs in global markets led to a month of record outflows from …
October saw investors across Europe flee long-term asset categories in impressive numbers, resulting in the biggest net outflows since 2008. But not in Switzerland; local funds managed to register modest but positive inflows. In line with the rest of Europe, however, the Swiss took money out of fixed …
Plummeting global markets spurred Swedish investors to abandon equities in order to crystallise past years' gains or limit losses from hard-hit tech funds. October's wave of equity redemptions was, though, accompanied by support for short-term Swedish assets and, in particular, money market funds. This was the largest shift …
After the relative calm of the previous month, October’s renewed outbreak of widespread market turbulence highlighted the persisting complications of the current investment environment. Net domestic headline fund sales were in the red for a second successive month, although, surprisingly, equity funds remained reasonably firm. Elsewhere, though, risk-off …
October's washout on US stock markets – the last bastion of the bulls – triggered a generalised sell-off of stock and bond indices around the world. Italy was no exception – the long-term fund industry suffered outflows of over €1.7bn, chiefly on the mixed asset side. Bond and …
In a month that saw funds across Europe ravaged by redemptions, the German market was surprisingly resilient. October still marked a year low for fund flows, but long-term products managed to stay out of the red, if only just. With global markets churning, investors swam towards the safer …
October's flows were as expected – sizeable total inflows, mainly because of France’s liquidity cycle – but, when viewed through the lens of current domestic problems, signalled yet more doom and gloom to come. Money market funds saw net sales of €15bn but, as stock markets contracted, long-term …
It is a bleak time for fund managers in Austria, as in much of the rest of Europe. Net redemptions from domestic funds in October reached their highest level for seven years. Outflows were driven mainly by withdrawals from bond funds as fears about the prospect of interest …
Providing strategists and tacticians with early identification of market threats and opportunities, Fund Radar helps clients achieve a competitive advantage with actionable insight to develop business across Europe.
“I think that the low-interest-rate environment will have an effect in this regard, in that it should lead to the launch of products that suit the requirements of such a scenario. Other factors that could come into play would be the structural reforms in countries – Greece, for example – where such measures have yet to be effected, and the removal of political risk as a threat to market stability over the next few years.”

Swedish asset managers had more than just Mifid 2 to think about as 2018 dawned – January also saw the implementation of a new rule forcing funds there to report their management of various sustainability aspects. Along with a handful of other countries, Sweden has long been at …
