The fund industry recorded net sales of 21.1 bln reais in August, the second highest monthly figure of the year, exceeded only by the 25.7 bln reais registered in March. Both results were influenced by net inflow into the same Fixed Income fund in the Corporate segment. Unlike in March, however, when the Fixed Income class accounted for almost all the period’s net sales, in August, the Balanced/Mixed funds posted net inflow of 7.9 bln reais and, together with the Fixed Income (8.9 bln reais) and Pension Fund (3.0 bln reais) classes, generated an important part of the month’s net sales.
