The Austria Financial Market Authority has published its quarterly asset management report, showing that Austrian investment funds came under pressure in the opening quarter of 2026 as global financial markets weakened in connection with geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Assets under management for 2,103 investment funds launched by Austrian capital investment companies and fund managers stood at EUR 241.8 billion at the end of the first quarter, down 1.9% from year-end 2025 but still 6.1% above the level a year earlier. Despite the decline in assets, Austrian funds recorded net inflows of EUR 197 million over the quarter. Mixed funds drew the largest net inflows at EUR 331 million, followed by equity funds at EUR 94 million and bond funds at EUR 70 million, while real estate funds posted net outflows of EUR 339 million.
