Top 5 Retail Managers by inflows
Assirtclaims the net retail inflows top five show a mixed bag of managers, both specialist and generalist, and that the largest flows have been into defensive investments including fixed interest, property and Australian equities.
Platinumwas able to exhibit the third highest inflow figure over the year despite being exposed to international markets during the recent downturn.
Assirt says thatAMPhas managed to maintain relatively steady inflows, riding on its strong brand, range of products and extensive distribution amid recent trouble with the UK arm of its funds management business and lay-offs of staff within its Australian business.
Commonwealth/Colonial First StateGroup has managed to scrape into the top five because of strong flows into the recently launched FirstChoice master trust.
Assirtsays there has been a significant decrease in fund flows in general this year across the whole market, which will see fund managers come in under their target inflows for the period.
