Communiqué de presse 25/04

I. Overall situation

As at 31 January 2025, the total net assets of undertakings for collective investment, comprising UCIs subject to the 2010 Law, specialised investment funds and SICARs, amounted to EUR 5,929.317 billion compared to EUR 5,820.088 billion as at 31 December 2024, i.e. an increase of 1.88% over one month. Over the last twelve months, the volume of net assets increased by 11.32%.

The Luxembourg UCI industry thus registered a positive variation amounting to EUR 109.229 billion in January. This increase represents the sum of positive net capital investments of EUR 9.474 billion (0.16%) and of the positive development of financial markets amounting to EUR 99.755 billion (1.72%).

The development of undertakings for collective investment is as follows:

The number of undertakings for collective investment taken into consideration totalled 3,128, against 3,143 the previous month. A total of 2,060 entities adopted an umbrella structure representing 12,482 sub-funds. Adding the 1,068 entities with a traditional UCI structure to that figure, a total of 13,550 fund units were active in the financial centre.

As regards the impact of financial markets on the main categories of undertakings for collective investment and the net capital investment in these UCIs, the following can be said for the month of January.

In January, President Trump’s inauguration was a key market theme, generating both high expectations and concerns about potential policy changes, especially regarding tariffs. The US economy continued to show strength with signs of disinflation. The main development of the month was the emergence of Deepseek, a Chinese company challenging the US leadership in AI, which casted doubt on the massive investments required in technology to support AI developments, causing significant losses for technology stocks, including Nvidia, whose market value fell by nearly $600 billion – the largest single-day loss in US stock market history. Despite this, US equities posted a positive monthly performance due to gains in other sectors. European equities also recorded significant gains, benefiting from a shift away from technology stocks and from improving economic data, while concerns over US tariffs eased. Latin American equities performed strongly, mainly due to significant gains in Colombia and Brazil, and further bolstered by the appreciation of the Brazilian real by more than 5% against the euro.

In January, equity UCI categories registered mixed capital investment, with the largest inflows in the categories US equities and Eastern European equities.

In January, all fixed income UCI categories achieved positive monthly performances, with the exception of the Global money market due to the depreciation of the pound sterling against the euro. European bonds benefitted from tightening credit spreads, whereas US bonds benefitted from declining yields. Throughout the month, several central bank meetings took place, including those of the Federal Reserve, which maintained interest rates and signalled no imminent rate cuts, and the European Central Bank, which reduced interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point as anticipated.

In January, fixed income UCIs registered positive net capital investment, except for the USD money market category. The categories Global money market and Global market bonds collected the largest inflows.
