September insights

  • Mutual fund net sales remained positive each month during the last quarter and were positive in five of the nine months this year.
  • The majority of inflows were in the bond fund category, although these sales were partially offset by outflows from the balanced and equity categories. Bond fund sales have been positive every month this year.
  • ETF assets have increased by $96.5 billion, or 25.3 per cent, year to date. This growth was driven equally by inflows and positive market effect.
