The European Fund and Asset Management Association published its February 2026 monthly statistics showing net inflows into UCITS and AIFs of EUR 143 billion, with long-term UCITS posting a record EUR 117 billion. The release attributes the strength largely to strong European and Asian equity market performance, while flagging that flows could reverse in March as the Iran war disrupts global energy supplies and trade routes and weighs on investor sentiment. UCITS attracted EUR 136 billion (down from EUR 151 billion in January), with long-term UCITS inflows up from EUR 101 billion and ETF UCITS taking EUR 49 billion, unchanged month on month. Equity funds recorded EUR 61 billion of net inflows, bond funds EUR 36 billion and multi-asset funds EUR 17 billion, while UCITS money market funds slowed to EUR 19 billion and AIF inflows fell to EUR 6 billion. Total net assets of UCITS and AIFs increased 2.1% to EUR 26.3 trillion across the 29 European countries covered by EFAMA’s fact sheet.
