Amid rising global competition in asset management, UCITS stand out as a global success story for the European fund management industry with sales in over 50 non-EU countries. Over the past decade, growth in European cross-border funds was stronger than for domestic funds. Understanding the scale and strategic significance of UCITS cross-border success is more critical than ever, especially when considering any regulatory changes that might impact the European fund industry.
On 23 September from 11:30 to 12:30 CET, we hosted a webinar discussing the findings of our latest Market Insights publication on international distribution trends for UCITS, leveraging Broadridge’s proprietary Global Market Intelligence (GMI) data. This included a detailed overview of the leading UCITS distribution regions and countries outside of Europe, key trends by fund type, and patterns driving net sales. A panel of international distribution experts discussed the current challenges and opportunities related to the international distribution of UCITS and provided their views on how Europe can safeguard its position as the global gold standard in investment funds.
