UBS notches fourth straight quarter of asset outflows

Bank's funds arm 'not immune' to investor risk aversion and shift to passive, as outflows pick up pace in both fixed income and equities

UBS’s asset management division has reported four consecutive quarters of net outflows after the pace of withdrawals from both fixed income, and the equities, multi-asset and O’Connor hedge fund management businesses, picked up in the three months to June 30.

Figures published by the Swiss bank in a document alongside its second-quarter results on July 29 showed that net outflows in fixed income rose from Sfr3.8 billion in the first quarter of 2016 to Sfr4.4 billion in the latest three-month period. This marked the fourth quarter in a row of outflows and compared with Sfr2.4 billion in inflows a year ago.
