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 domestic arena rounded off a moderately positive first half-year at headline level, with the pace of overall net inflows increasing slightly in June. However, this month’s increased net inflow cannot be taken at face value. In reality, it was essentially an inhouse rotation as domestic big gun …
There were heavy outflows from UK funds in the first half according to Broadridge estimates but reasons to be more cheerful may be found in data reported to the UK fund managers trade organisation, the Investment Association (IA). This data, which shows investor type in more granularity, indicates …
Year-to-date net sales of more than €8bn are a testimony to investors’ belief that a major downturn is not yet around the corner, although the second quarter saw a major shift away from equities with €1.4bn of net outflows wiping out Q1 gains. Bond funds provided the bulk …
In June attention shifted away from trade wars and geopolitics and back to monetary policy issues. With the 'Sintra speech' Mario Draghi clearly indicated further monetary stimulus in the pipeline, and as a result bond yields have dropped to record low across Europe, boosting the fixed income asset …
In June, the Swedish fund industry enjoyed its largest net sales of equity funds in over two years. Booming stock markets led some investors to return to the equity asset class, but the main boost came from a shift within the Premium Pension system (PPM). Around 300 funds …
Net sales in June were positive, driven by almost equal flows to bonds, mixed assets and property funds, and closing a strong first half for the industry. In the first six months of 2019, investors withdrew substantial volumes from liquidity products and switched to other investments. While all …

There was an unexpected surge in fund sales in June which helped to produce a positive first half-year for the Austrian funds industry. After two years of outflows, preceded by several lean years, it appears that 2019 could mark a turnaround in the fortunes of local managers. There …

“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.”
