Global situation of undertakings for collective investment at the end of February 2025
I. Overall situation
As at 28 February 2025, the total net assets of undertakings for collective investment, comprising UCIs subject to the 2010 Law, specialised investment funds and SICARs, amounted to EUR 5,957.264 billion compared to EUR 5,929.317 billion as at 31 January 2025, i.e. an increase of 0.47% over one month. Over the last twelve months, the volume of net assets increased by 10.46%.
The Luxembourg UCI industry thus registered a positive variation amounting to EUR 27.947 billion in February. This increase represents the sum of positive net capital investments of EUR 34.145 billion (0.58%) and of the negative development of financial markets amounting to EUR 6.198 billion (-0.11%).
The development of undertakings for collective investment is as follows:
The number of undertakings for collective investment taken into consideration totalled 3,131, against 3,128 the previous month. A total of 2,069 entities adopted an umbrella structure representing 12,458 sub-funds. Adding the 1,062 entities with a traditional UCI structure to that figure, a total of 13,520 fund units were active in the financial centre.
As regards the impact of financial markets on the main categories of undertakings for collective investment and the net capital investment in these UCIs, the following can be said for the month of February.
In February, the threat of US trade tariffs continued to weight on equity markets with concerns over their potential repercussions on global growth, including in the US, along with growing doubts on valuations, particularly for large technology stocks. Against this backdrop, US equities posted the poorest monthly performance among developed markets. In contrast, European and Eastern European equities outperformed, driven by growing investor optimism regarding the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine. Japanese equities, which are particularly exposed to global trade, faced significant losses, which were partially offset by the appreciation by more than 2% of the Japanese yen against the euro. Finally, the modest overall gains in the Asian equity category mask significant differences between countries, with strong gains in Chinese equities (mostly from AI and technology related stocks) and losses in India and Taiwan.
In February, equity UCI categories registered mixed capital investment, with the largest inflows in the categories Eastern European equities and US equities.

In February, all fixed income UCI categories achieved positive monthly performances, with the sole exception of the US money market category, due to a slight depreciation of the US dollar against the euro. The category USD-denominated bonds delivered the largest monthly performance, driven by declining US yields amid a yield curve flattening, despite widening credit spreads. This occurred as investors shifted their focus from inflation to growth concerns and favoured safer assets. European bonds benefitted from slightly declining yields combined with tightening credit spreads amid hopes of a ceasefire in Ukraine and expectations of increased government spending to support defence investments.
In February, all fixed income UCIs registered positive net capital investment. The categories USD money market and Global money market collected the largest inflows.
