Usage Example: Fund Flows Data
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Managers use EPFR Global fund flows data
to boost return and increase alpha by :
 Forecasting Market movements
Values derived from fund flows are valuable in asset
allocation decision making and serve as an early
warning of upturns and downturns in markets. Flows
are also a critical tool in measuring liquidity.
 Enhancing Models
Build portfolio strategies based on aggregate net flow
data for regions, sectors or asset classes.
 Market timing
Enter early into sectors that show an opportunity for
large future inflows. Use flows data to monitor changes
in underlying demand for the sector.
 Monitoring FX markets
Leverage the predictive power of fund flows to
anticipate currency movements.
Flows as a predictive Indicator
 ING Investment strategist Brian Gendreau
illustrates the predictive power of weekly
flows.
 Using EPFR flow data for emerging markets,
Gendreau developed a trading strategy.
 When back tested this strategy earned
annualized gross returns of 35% vs. 16% for
the index.

Usage Example: Country & Sector Allocations Data

Find the inflection points
 Future market movements and valuation.

appetite of fund managers.

enhance your own positioning.

"The flow data from EPFR has
proved to be a useful source of
added value in some
quantitative models of equity
markets we have constructed.
It provides an extra dimension
of information to that available
from the typical equity market
databases used by quants and
so affords an edge in
performance over much of the
competition."

“Emerging market mutual
funds' country allocations
appear to contain information
on future equity returns
beyond that contained in
standard valuation and
momentum indicators.”

Country Weightings Report to

regional and country
allocations on a monthly basis.
The Report is timely and very
comprehensive.“
