provides forecast profiles for seven selected markets;
- Covers regulatory and competitive developments across Europe.
Report Highlights
By the end of 2005, UCITS funds accounted for 70% of the total fund industry
in Europe in terms of the number of funds available. Net inflows are even more
weighted towards the UCITS side of the market, suggesting that UCITS'
popularity with investors was greater than that of non-UCITS in 2005.
Many fund managers believe that the current legislation brought in under UCITS
III does not do enough to create a truly unified, harmonized single European
market. They are concerned that several important goals such as cross-border
mergers, and the pooling of investor assets across borders, will not be
feasible without further amendments.
