The negative performance of the global financial market as a result of the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East also affected Austian investment funds in the opening quarter of 2026. This is a finding from the Austrian Financial Market Authority’s Quarterly Report for Asset Management.
At the end of the 1st Quarter of 2026, the 2,103 investment funds managed by Austrian investment fund management companies (KAGs; Kapitalanlagegesellschaften) and fund managers managed assets of €241.8 billion and therefore was down by 1.9% compared with the level at year-end 2025. In year-on-year comparison, assets were still 6.1% higher. The highest net inflows of funds during the quarter was observed among mixed funds of €331 million, followed by equity funds of €94 million, and bond funds of €70 million. In contrast, real estate funds posted net outflows of €339 million. In total there was a new inflow of €197 million in Austrian funds.
All further data, facts and figures can be found in the FMA’s Quarterly Report on Asset Management (in German only). The Quarterly Report for Asset Management was published in a new, streamlined form that displays the figures in a compact and clear design on two pages. The data basis for these figures is more detailed and is also available for download in digital form.
