Key Quotes

“EM FI funds recorded inflows of +0.24% of AUM in the latest week. The asset class saw a positive turnaround in the last four weeks following two preceding weeks of considerable outflows (cumulatively -0.41% of AUM). In our view this improvement primarily reflects the effect of lower US yields as risks of a June rate hike diminish.”

“In the latest week hard currency funds recorded impressive inflows at +0.58% of AUM, while local currency flows were back in the red territory with -0.26%.”

“EM Equities saw a notable improvement in flows, with a positive weekly print at +0.12% of AUM after five consecutive weeks of outflows (cumulative of -0.87%).”

“DM FI funds have been attracting steady inflows since January 2015 (cumulatively +3.60% of AUM), yet the latest print at +0.12% was somewhat softer than the strong positive injections recorded earlier this year.”

“DM Equity funds saw minor outflows of -0.04% of AUM in the latest week. DM Asia and DM Europe continued enjoying healthy positive injections (at +0.22% and +0.21% of AUM respectively), while North America recorded outflows at -0.16%.”
