Global situation of undertakings for collective investment at the end of November 2016

As at 30 November 2016, total net assets of undertakings for collective investment and specialised investment funds amounted to EUR 3,640.629 billion compared to EUR 3,626.498 billion as at 31 October 2016, i.e. a 0.39% increase over one month. Over the last twelve months, the volume of net assets rose by 1.42%.

The Luxembourg UCI industry thus registered a positive variation amounting to EUR 14.131 billion in November. This increase represents the balance of negative net issues of EUR -6.534 billion (-0.18%) and a positive development in the financial markets amounting to EUR 20.665 billion (0.57%).

The number of undertakings for collective investment (UCIs) and specialised investment funds (SIFs) taken into consideration totalled 3,888 as against 3,891 in the previous month. 2,598 entities have adopted an umbrella structure, which represents 12,942 sub-funds. When adding the 1,290 entities with a traditional structure to that figure, a total of 14,232 fund units are active in the financial centre.

As regards the impact of financial markets on Luxembourg UCIs and SIFs (hereafter “UCIs”) on the one hand and the net capital investment in these UCIs on the other hand, the following can be said about November 2016.

The result of the presidential election in the United States dominated the financial markets, thus leading, among other things, to a rise in equity prices and bond yields of the developed countries as well as of the dollar.

Anticipating a more expansive tax policy in the United States, the category of US equity UCIs, recorded in this context price increases amplified by a USD appreciation against the EUR by almost 3%. Even if the positive performance was less marked due to political uncertainties surrounding, among others, the referendum in Italy, the category of European equity UCIs followed an upward trend. The category of Japanese equity UCIs also ended the month in positive territory influenced, notably, by the depreciation of the JPY against the USD by about 8% and figures of economic growth beyond the investors’ expectations.

As far as emerging countries are concerned, the increase in interest rates, a strong dollar and the anticipation of a review of business relation arrangements of the United States with some emerging countries, following the result of the presidential election in the United States, explain the negative performance of the categories of Asian and Latin American equity UCIs despite stable growth data in China. However, the category of Eastern European equity UCIs recorded a general upward trend backed by the increase of oil prices following the agreement of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on a decrease of the production quotas.

In November, equity UCI categories registered an overall negative net capital investment.

On the bond markets of developed countries, the yields continued their positive development due, in particular, to the increase in inflation anticipations linked to the rise in oil prices and the measures of expansive tax policy expected after the presidential elections in the United States. Thus, the category of EUR-denominated bond UCIs registered price losses, amplified by economic data which were better than expected in Europe, whereas for the category of USD-denominated bond UCIs, the USD appreciation against the EUR partially offset the negative performance.

The statements of the new president of the United States on the future of the business relations with certain emerging countries as well as the significant depreciation of some emerging currencies led to a steeper upward movement of bond yields of the emerging countries bonds. On such basis, this UCI category recorded price losses in the month under review.

Overall, fixed-income UCIs registered negative net capital investment during November.
