Asset managers that recorded the highest European inflows in 2025

2025 confirmed the resilience of the European asset management industry, with investors continuing to allocate capital despite macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. According to Morningstar Direct data, European open-ended funds and ETFs recorded total net inflows of EUR 696.3 billion in 2025, up from EUR 612.7 billion in 2024. Passive strategies remained a key driver, but active bond managers also benefited from renewed investor interest.

Managers with strong passive offerings dominated the inflow rankings, although several active houses stood out thanks to robust demand for fixed-income strategies.
