Introduction
Over the past decade the European mutual fund industry has developed significantly, not just in terms of overall size, but also in terms of how funds are distributed both within the national borders and across Europe as a whole. Datamonitor's European Mutual Fund Distribution report provides an in-depth analysis of the current and future distribution landscape of retail investment funds in Europe.
Scope
Detailed analysis including market size and distribution splits for the five main European countries - France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the UK
Based on extensive research including a survey of almost 100 distributors, both banks and financial advisors, across the five main countries
In-depth interviews with more than a dozen leading competitors and industry associations as well as extensive secondary research
Highlights
Bancassurance is key in Europe, with banks dominating the distribution of retail mutual funds in four of the five main European countries. Only in the UK, where banks have been held back by legislation and a failure to make the most of the opportunities available to them, is the distribution of funds dominated by a channel other than the banks
Distribution in Europe has opened up over the past decade but the much-touted concept of open architecture has so far failed to achieve anywhere near the degree of penetration that it has in the US market. Only 43% of mutual fund distributors questioned in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the UK, offer third party funds to their retail customers.
In the pursuit of a single European market for the cross-border sales and distribution of investment funds, the authorities are making some headway. However, there remain significant obstacles, particularly in terms of national discriminatory taxation that are still hindering Europe's progress towards a single market for mutual funds.

Support strategic initiatives by identifying the most important funds related regulatory developments across Europe and their potential impact
