Today, EFAMA has published its latest Monthly Statistical Release for February 2026.

Thomas Tilley, Deputy Director of Research & Senior Economist at EFAMA, commented on the February 2026 figures: “In February, net sales of long-term UCITS reached a new record, largely driven by strong performances in European and Asian equity markets. However, this momentum is likely to fully reverse in March, as the outbreak of the Iran war and the resulting disruptions to global energy supplies and trade routes weigh heavily on investor sentiment and could result in net outflows.”

The main developments in February can be summarised as follows:

• UCITS and AIFs recorded net inflows of EUR 143 billion, down from EUR 168 billion recorded in January 2026.

• UCITS recorded net inflows of EUR 136 billion, down from EUR 151 billion in the previous month.

  • Long-term UCITS (UCITS excluding money market funds) saw net inflows of EUR 117 billion, up from EUR 101 billion in January. Of these, ETF UCITS attracted EUR 49 billion in net inflows, the same level as in the previous month.

    • Equity funds registered net inflows of EUR 61 billion, up from EUR 46 billion in January 2026.

    • Bond funds recorded net inflows of EUR 36 billion, slightly down from EUR 37 billion in January 2026.

    • Multi-asset funds recorded net inflows of EUR 17 billion, compared to EUR 13 billion in January 2026.

• UCITS money market funds saw net inflows of EUR 19 billion, down from EUR 49 billion in January 2026.

• AIFs recorded net inflows of EUR 6 billion, down from EUR 17 billion in January 2026. 

• Total net assets of UCITS and AIFs increased by 2.1% to EUR 26.3 trillion.
