EFAMA welcomes the IOSCO Consultation report which we believe is a good starting point for further engagement with our industry on dilution in Open-Ended Funds (OEFs). We believe that dilution may indeed trigger investor protection concerns for certain funds and welcome, in this respect, IOSCO’s commitment to protect end-investors from material dilution. This being said, we however do not support the consultation report’s significant emphasis on financial stability considerations.
Trends in European Investment Funds
The Fact Book is our flagship publication. It provides in-depth analysis of trends in the European investment fund industry, including extensive statistics and information about products, asset classes and distribution across all markets. It also includes a complete overview of regulatory developments across 29 European countries.
A digital version of the Fact Book is made freely available on our website. An Excel-based statistical package, containing more than 50 tables with historical time series on net assets, net sales and number of UCITS and AIFs at the country level, is available for purchase.
