UCIS KEY MILESTONE OF 6.1 TRILLION EUR

Luxembourg’s investment fund industry has crossed a key milestone: assets under management in UCIs reached €6.1 trillion as of end-October 2025 (CSSF data), up a robust +2.28% month-on-month and +8.77% year-on-year.

October’s €137 billion increase was largely performance-driven, with favourable markets contributing €115 billion (+1.91%) and net subscriptions adding €22 billion (+0.37%). The fund universe remained steady at 3,069 UCIs comprising 13,369 compartments.

Equity funds posted strong gains amid renewed risk appetite, fuelled by the US-China rare-earth trade truce and ongoing AI enthusiasm. Japanese equities led performance on prospects of looser fiscal and monetary policy, while US equities were bolstered by solid earnings, a second 25 bps Fed cut, and Nvidia briefly exceeding $5 trillion market cap. Despite these drivers, profit-taking triggered selective outflows from global, US, and Asia ex-Japan equity strategies.

Fixed-income funds generated consistent positive returns, supported by declining eurozone and US sovereign yields, contained credit spreads, and a firmer US dollar. Bond funds overall attracted net inflows, though USD money-market vehicles and certain USD and global bond strategies experienced targeted redemptions.

Having firmly surpassed the €6 trillion mark, Luxembourg reinforces its status as Europe’s leading fund domicile and the world’s second-largest investment fund centre after the US, underpinned by strong market returns and sustained — albeit measured — institutional and manager inflows.
