Key highlights from this month’s FFI:
- Record inflows of £2.6bn into equity funds in April – the total was almost 6x the long-run average monthly inflow
- Each month in 2020 has seen the highest ever trading volumes in funds as investors struggled to value assets correctly in the context of the unfolding pandemic
- Buying trailed off in the last two weeks of the month
- Index and active funds enjoyed equal inflows, but active funds showed much stronger two-way trading
- Global funds saw record inflows, with UK equities close behind
- Money market funds saw outflows as investors emerged from the safety of cash
