These inflows occurred in a positive but volatile market environment in which investor sentiment was still impacted by the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting actions taken by central banks and governments in Europe and other parts of the world.

The positive performance of the underlying markets led in combination with the estimated net inflows to increasing assets under management (from €1,133.0 bn as of May 31, 2021, to €1,177.8 bn at the end of June).

The increase of €44.8 bn for June was driven by the performance of the underlying markets (+€30.5 bn), while the estimated net sales contributed €14.3 bn to the increase of assets under management.

It was not surprising equity funds (€851.4 bn) held the majority of assets, followed by bond funds (€285.9 bn), commodities products (€29.3 bn), alternative UCITS products (€6.3 bn), money market funds (€2.3 bn), mixed-assets funds (€2.5 bn), and “other” funds (€0.1 bn).
