Germans invested €35 billion into open-ended equity funds in the first half of the year, which helped drive Germany’s total assets to over €4 trillion for the first time.
BVI, the country’s funds association, said this was the strongest equity flow figure in the first half of any year since 2000.
Balanced funds saw the second largest inflow, followed by property funds, and bond funds came fourth with €1.1 billion.
The BVI also revealed that €361 billion – or 10% of the country’s total €4.086 trillion of assets under management – was in sustainable funds.
Germans, including institutions, invested €10.2 billion in sustainable funds during Q2. This was 33% of all new money.
