Insight March 2011 Monthly Update

The ‘investment season’ refers to the opening two months of each year in which households and advisors initiate key choices across a broad spectrum of investment vehicles, especially investment funds. Past experience has shown that what happens in this period typically sets the tone for the sales environment of the entire year. The March 2011 issue of Insight, which is now available for subscriber download, provides a complete and comprehensive analysis of how the investment funds business has fared in the 2011 investment season. Our focus is multi-faceted: we provide comparisons to previous years, and look at what has been selling, who has been selling, which product structures and funds attracted the most new money, and much more.
