Chart of the Day: Net fund inflows for assets fall to $116b in 2016

Private market managers continue to bring in the bulk of net inflows.

This chart from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) shows the net fund inflows for assets under management (AUM) slowed down to $116b in 2016.

For comparison, the amount of inflows in 2015 reached $203b, whilst in 2014, it reached $408b.

Private market managers, such as real estate, private equity and venture capital managers, contributed to the bulk of net fund inflows. MAS said they deployed capital into new investment opportunities.

Inflow funds from traditional asset managers were generally lower.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
