Total net inflows of asset managers subsided almost continuously from the beginning of 2014 until the start of 2016, whereafter inflows began to recover. However, total income did not recover in tandem with total net inflows, as firms were forced to continue cutting average management fees. After total premium income of life insurers slowed down at an ever-faster pace from the second quarter of 2016 until the first quarter of 2017, it remained unchanged at this week level in the second quarter.

The results are exclusive to the BER’s macro service clients since EY ended their sponsorship in the third quarter of 2016. The first quarter of 2017 survey shows that lower income growth is hurting asset management. Usually there is a positive relationship between net inflows, income, profits and confidence of asset managers, i.e. if net inflows increase, so do income, profits and confidence and vice versa. However, since the second half of 2016, net inflows have increased, but income has slumped. So did profits and as a result, confidence. The survey also shows that deterioration in retail banks’ performance did not gain further pace, the performance of investment banks improved from a low base and life insurance premium income growth weakened. The full details appear in the report and historical data.
