The latest figures from the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) show the rate at which Ucits funds are seeing outflows fell, compared with August and September.
Equity funds registered net outflows of €17bn ($23bn) in September down from €26bn in August, with a further fall in October to €8bn.
The equivalent bond fund numbers for September to October are €12bn, down to €5bn.
Including money market funds, total net outflows for October were €30bn, down from September’s €49bn.
Attributed to a revitalised stock market during October, total Ucits assets grew by 2.2% to €5,487bn. Total non-Ucits assets also grew, by 1%, to €2,130bn.
Bernard Delbecque, director of economics and research at EFAMA, said: “The net sales figures for Ucits showed mixed signals in October: on the one hand, Ucits saw reduced net outflows, as expectations of a conclusive plan to resolve the sovereign debt crisis provided some hope to investors.
"On the other hand, net withdrawals remained at a high level with all categories affected, as uncertainty lingered and the economic outlook deteriorated.”
