Lipper’s November European fund flow trends

Lipper’s November European fund flow trends

Equities are favoured by European investors:
The European mutual fund industry, with overall net inflows of €12.7bn for long-term mutual funds, showed a healthy growth pattern for November 2013. As in the previous month money market products suffered net outflows for November (-€11.7bn). The inflows were mainly driven by inflows into equity funds (+€9.8bn) and mixed-asset funds (+ €4.8bn) as well as into property products (+€0.4bn). “Other” (-€1.5bn), commodity (-€0.3bn), and hedge funds (- €0.3bn) as well as bond (-€0.2bn) products showed net outflows.

Olympus Has Fallen

Olympus Has Fallen

I have always been fascinated by the relationship between the film industry and social mood not just in Hollywood, but indeed globally. At times film directors and producers show an uncanny ability to predict and anticipate themes and stories that will appeal to the public in future years when the film completes the transition from inception to completion. Often the way a film is received by the public acts as a data point to current public social values and moods at the time of release.
