Abstract

Non-money market collective investment undertakings (investment funds) are highly dynamic: outstanding amounts under management have more than doubled in value since 2009 to just over EUR 11,000 billion at the end of 2017 – an amount equivalent to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the euro area. This overall dynamism disguises pronounced differences between countries, with Ireland and Luxembourg reporting the most substantial growth. In addition, breakdowns between fund types and the categories of underlying investments also vary depending on the euro area country, as does the profile of the investors (financial or non-financial) who subscribe to the funds. This study compares the aggregated balance sheet data for nine major euro area countries.
