A decrease in sales seen across all products and asset classes. - UCITS recorded net inflows of EUR 25 billion, compared to EUR 108 billion in January 2020​. - Long-term UCITS (UCITS excluding money market funds) recorded EUR 29 billion of net sales, down from EUR 60 billion in January 2020. - Equity funds registered net outflows of EUR 4 billion, compared to net inflows of EUR 17 billion in January 2020. - Net sales of bond funds decreased to EUR 25 billion, from EUR 30 billion in January 2020. - Multi-asset funds recorded net inflows of EUR 8 billion, compared to EUR 11 billion in January 2020. - UCITS money market funds recorded net outflows of EUR 4 billion, compared to net inflows of EUR 48 billion in January 2020. - AIFs recorded net inflows of EUR 17 billion, down from EUR 29 billion in January 2020. - Total net assets of UCITS and AIFs decreased by 2.9% to EUR 17,519 billion.
