Decline in non-money market funds outstanding for the first time since 2011
- Over one year :sales of shares/units of non-money market funds outweigh subscriptions by a net amount of -36 billion, mainly resulting from equity funds (-21 billion, see graphs G1) and mixed funds (-11 billion). These outflows, unprecedented since 2013, are largely driven by the relocation of funds abroad (-25 billion). By contrast, real estate funds and employee savings funds record positive inflows (respectively +7 and +3 billion). Overall, non-money market funds mainly sell shares issued by non-residents (-32 billion, graph G2).
MMFs also record outflows (-11 billion). These repurchases result in net sales of securities issued by credit institutions (-13 billion) and a reallocation of long-term debt securities towards deposits holdings.
- 4th quarter 2018 :Non-money market funds record outflows for the fourth consecutive quarter (-18 billion, see table p.2), mainly due to withdrawals by resident investors (-15 billion). The repayment of funds shares result in the sales of long-term debt securities (-9 billion) and equities (-6 billion) in particular. The securities sold are mainly issued by non-residents (-13 billion) and, in terms of sector, by non-financial corporations (-16 billion).
MMFs record an outflow of EUR 10 billion as a result of withdrawals from resident investors (-14 billion), partially offset by net subscriptions from non-euro area investors (+4 billion).
- Focus - Investment funds in the Euro area: (graphs G3 page3): the outstanding amount of non-money market funds in the euro area falls by -2.4% in 2018 for the first time since 2011, due to losses recorded (-5.3%) and despite positive net subscriptions (+2.1%). French funds record over the year a negative impact of €103 billion or -7.9% due to a valuation effect of -5.2%, a relocation effect of -1.9% and a subscription effect of -0.9%. Its weight in the Eurozone falls by 0.8 percentage point year-on-year (10.9% at the end of 2018 after 11.7% at the end of 2017).
