The report also showed that the combined net sales of Ucits and alternative investment funds reached €246 billion in the third quarter of 2017, down from €249 billion in the second quarter.
Ucits funds registered net sales of €190 billion in the third quarter of 2017, up from €175 billion in the second quarter.
