Report Highlights
The Austrian retail savings and investments sector accounts for 31% of the
total savings and investments market. Within household portfolios, mutual
funds represent the largest asset class and between 2003 and 2005, the
proportional allocation of household assets to mutual funds increased steadily.
30% of the increase in household assets between 2004 and 2005 was attributed
to appreciation in the value of stocks and mutual funds. In 2005, Austrian
households demonstrated increased demand for domestic fixed-income fund shares
and balanced funds with a capital guarantee.
Austrian banking groups also dominate the mutual funds sector. Bank Austria
Creditanstalt AG (BA-CA) leads the banking sector, by total assets. Capital
Invest die Kapitalanlagegesellschaft der BA/CA Gr. GmbH (renamed Pioneer
Investments Austria in November 2006) ranks third in the Austrian mutual funds
sector, by assets under management.
