Equity/Bond Fund Flows - Method of Calculation……………………………………………………………………………………………………..……….

Weekly Net FlowsWeekly Net Flows

= (Weekly Net Chg) – (Weekly Portfolio Chg)

Weekly Portfolio Chg

= (Assets BoW) x Weekly performance of the fund* *Change in NAV per share including any dividend distributions

Weekly Net Chg

= (Assets EoW) – (Assets BoW) – (Weekly Forex Chg)= (Assets EoW) – (Assets BoW) – (Weekly Forex Chg)

or

= (Weekly Portfolio Chg) + (Weekly Flows)= (Weekly Portfolio Chg) + (Weekly Flows)

Example: European Growth Fund

BoW Assets: €500m BoW €/US$ exchange rate: 1.275EoW Assets: €550m EoW €/US$ exchange rate: 1.227BoW NAV: €10 Average €/US$ exchange rate: 1.251EoW NAV: €10.6NAV Performance for the week: 6% (10.6 – 10)/10

Step 1: Calculate Portfolio Change & Fund Flows in local currency

Portfolio Change: €500m x 6% = €30mFund Flows: €550m - €500m - €30m = €20m

Step 2: Convert all local currency amounts to US$

BoW Assets: €500m x 1.275 = $637.5m

EoW Assets: €550m x 1.227 = $674.85mPortfolio Change: €30m x 1.251 = $37.53mFund flow: €20m x 1.251 = $25.02m

If FX rate remained the same for the week, then BoW Assets + Portfolio Change + Fund Flow would equal EoW Assets

Expected EoW Assets: $637.5 + $37.53 + $25.02 = $700.05

Actual EoW Assets: $674.85

Forex change: $700.05 – $674.85 = $25.2m

Frequently Asked Questions………………………………………………………..………

Q:  What is the difference between the monthly and weekly Fund Flows reports?

A:  The Weekly report contains a sub-set of the funds contained in the Monthly report. This is because not all funds report to Emerging Portfolio Fund Research (EPFR) on a weekly basis. Those that do are included in the weekly report. Those that don't can only be seen in the monthly report. The Monthly Fund Flows report has the same format as the Weekly Fund Flows report.

Q:  Does EPFR Fund Data only cover emerging markets funds?

A: No - International funds, Global funds, Developed Europe funds, Pacific funds, Japan funds, and USA funds are also part of our coverage.
