Net inflows at Italian asset gatherers nearly double y-o-y in August
By Alessandro Parodi
MILAN, Sept 9 (Reuters) -Italy's five listed asset gatherers reported for August combined net inflows of 1.5 billion euros ($1.7 billion), up from 783 million euros in the same month of 2023.
Net inflows into more lucrative assets under management rose to a combined 1.02 billion euros, up from 295.4 million last year, data showed.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
The asset management industry is undergoing changes as rising competition pressures margins and size becomes increasingly important, with further consolidation in the sector seen as inevitable down the road.
Inflows data at asset gatherers also give indications on banks' quarterly earnings. With interest rates declining, banks have turned to net fees to drive revenue and offset the declining contribution from the lending business.

QUOTES
"Strong flows, more space to manage the cost of deposits and cheaper valuation vs direct peers (9x 2026e earnings) make (Banca Mediolanum) one of our favourite names within Italian financials," Jefferies said in a note on Friday.
Earlier this month also Bank of America reiterated its 'buy' rating on Banca Mediolanum as its top pick among Italian asset gatherers, with a target price of 13.50 euros.
"We think that Fineco can now start to outperform thanks to more helpful macro, as lower rates can boost AuM flows, while cash sorting trends are abating", Jefferies said in a separate note on Thursday.
CONTEXT
Bankers expect more consolidation deals after BNP Paribas BNPP.PA in August entered exclusive talks with AXA AXAF.PA to buy the French insurer's investment management arm, as European money managers seek to fend off U.S. rivals and customers demand cheap technology-driven investing.
