EFAMA Asset Management Report 2022


EFAMA's latest edition of its 'Asset Management in Europe' report provides an in-depth analysis of recent trends, focusing on where investments funds and discretionary mandates are managed in Europe.

 The asset management sector is a crucial one for the European economy, with a key role to play in financing the green transition:

 

  • Total asset under management (AuM) in Europe grew to EUR 32.2 trillion by the end of 2021, although a 11.8% decline was seen in the first nine months of 2022, reflecting the sharp decline in financial markets following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
     
  • European asset managers hold a significant amount of debt securities and listed equity issued in Europe, i.e., EUR 6,989 billion and EUR 6,648 billion, respectively.
     
  • Between 2016 and 2021, global AuM in dedicated sustainable investing grew at a remarkable rate of 19% per year.The share of retail clients in total AuM increased to 28% in 2021, with 72% of AuM being managed on behalf of institutional investors.

  • a foreword by EFAMA’s President, Naïm Abou-Jaoudé
     
  • an extensive section on the role of asset managers in promoting ESG, including in discretionary mandates
