1 Traditional Asset Flows Report Second Quarter 2016 September 15, 2016 Summary This report shows the flow of institutional funds across regions, universes and products based on data reported to evestment by institutional asset managers around the world. As with recent past quarters, large industry-wide outflows in 2Q are evidence of investors seeking opportunities in alternative investments or holding onto cash. Highlights The institutional asset management industry reported net outflows of $120 billion in 2Q 2016, following outflows of $75.1 billion in 1Q. US-domiciled accounts reported $114 billion in outflows in 2Q, while accounts domiciled in Canada, Japan and Latin America saw inflows. The full extent of the Brexit vote may still not be evident.
2 Institutional Outflows Continue in 2Q The institutional asset management industry reported net outflows of $120.0 billion in 2Q 2016 after outflows of $75.1 billion in the first quarter. Once again, industry wide outflows are evidence of investors seeking opportunities in alternative investments or holding onto cash. Following outflows of $1.1 billion during the first quarter, fixed income products reported net inflows totaling $13.0 billion. Equity strategies reported net outflows of $110.1 billion, marking the 13th consecutive quarter of net outflows for the asset class. Balanced/multi-asset products recorded net outflows totaling $21.2 billion during the second quarter, marking three consecutive quarters of net outflows for the asset class. Second quarter inflows into fixed income markets were driven by US bonds, which reported net inflows of $38.8 billion. US short duration bonds reported inflows of $16.6 billion in the second quarter, the largest of any US fixed income universe. Through the first half of the year, US bonds have reported inflows of $55.8 billion. Global fixed income continues to see outflows from institutional investors. Global fixed income strategies reported net outflows of $12.2 billion in the second quarter. Domestic and global stocks reported significant investor outflows in 2Q US equity reported outflows of $72.1 billion, while global stocks recorded outflows of $5.1 billion. Passively managed equity, both US and non-us, continued to attract institutional assets in 2Q As a whole, passively managed equities reported inflows of $4.0 billion, while actively managed equities reported net outflows of $111.1 billion. The full extent of the Brexit vote may not be evident in second quarter asset flow figures. More fallout of the vote will be apparent in third quarter asset flows. In the second quarter, UK fixed income reported inflows of $4.9 billion, while UK stocks reported outflows of $6.2 billion. To this point, European strategies outside of the UK were hit the hardest. Europe ex-uk equity reported outflows of $16.8 billion, while Europe ex-uk fixed income reported outflows of $17.5 billion. Investors remain bullish on international equity markets. The evestment ACWI ex-us Equity universes reported inflows of $6.1 billion, while the EAFE Equity universe reported inflows of $1.7 billion in the second quarter. US core and core plus fixed income reported large inflows from investors following a year of net outflows. The evestment US Core Fixed Income universe reported inflows of $9.9 billion, or 1.2%. The evestment US Core Plus Fixed Income universe reported inflows of $4.2 billion, or 0.6%. Low vol equity strategies continue to see significant growth from institutional investors. Second quarter inflows totaled $3.5 billion, bringing the net inflow total to $18.2 billion over the last four quarters. Institutional AUM in low vol equity reached an all-time high of $162.3 billion in 2Q After a period of significantly decreased search activity in the evestment database and first quarter outflows, global unconstrained bonds reported net inflows of $1.7 billion in the second quarter. Over the last four quarters, the universe has reported inflows of $5.4 billion. ESG-focused strategies have attracted a lot of search activity in the evestment database in recent quarters. While interest in ESG has been evident in search activity and media coverage, ESG-focused strategies had yet to see inflows until the second quarter of Q 2016 inflows totaled $1.8 billion, following eight consecutive quarters of net outflows. Emerging markets equities reported net outflows for the fifth consecutive quarter. Outflows from the universe over the last year have totaled $28.2 billion. Despite outflows, public and corporate pensions have allocated an additional $2.9 billion to emerging markets equity since 2Q 2015.
