Aktia Pankki

Domestic fund capital rose to a new record again in August. Although new sales were sluggish in August, the new sales for the trailing 12 months exceed 10 billion euros, which is an excellent level.

The early-year performance of asset managers was moderate, and earnings growth should accelerate clearly in the second half of the year, driven by a strong market.

The Finnish fund capital remained at record levels in July, with the 12-month rolling net sales exceeding 9 BEUR.

Demand in the Finnish fund market continued to be quite favorable, and value changes were also slightly positive.

S&P affirmed Aktia's previous rating, even though it downgraded the credit rating of the entire Finnish banking sector.

Fund capital rose to an all-time high, and the market jitters in March are now a distant memory.

Consolidation in the Finnish asset management sector has continued in recent years, and we expect this trend to persist.

Finnish fund assets rebounded strongly in April, and the jitters caused by the war in Iran were short-lived.
