Last month's most popular fund strategy, Managed Futures, meanwhile, saw withdrawals of $0.58bn, although the category overall remains the best performer of the year, with total inflows of $4.36bn. Equity strategies continued to struggle last month with -$3.51bn in withdrawals, taking YTD redemption to -$38.14bn.
Despite the overall negative asset flows though, performance gains saw total industry AUM grow in August by +$5.8bn to an estimated $3.468tn.
