German fund investors are getting nervous

Frankfurt The turmoil on the capital markets allows fund investors to trade on the German market. In March, they withdrew a significant amount of money from the public funds set up primarily for private individuals, totaling 2.7 billion euros. This is announced by the German fund association BVI. In the first two months of the year, they had apparently ignored the crumbling stock market prices and put new capital of a good eleven billion euros into funds.

In view of the falling share prices due to volatility, investors in March sold mainly funds with dividend stocks with a net volume of 2.6 billion euros. At 2.5 billion euros, most of the money flowed from the exchange-traded index funds ETF with shares, the rest from actively, i.e. managed by fund managers, equity funds.
