About the IA sectors
The Sectors page breaks down UK fund flows and assets under management across all 47 Investment Association sectors — from Global equity and Corporate Bond to Volatility Managed and Targeted Absolute Return — so you can see which categories are gaining or losing investor money.
- What are the Investment Association sectors?
- The Investment Association groups UK-domiciled retail funds into 47 sectors by asset class, region, and strategy (for example UK All Companies, Global, and £ Corporate Bond). The classification lets investors compare like-for-like funds and track flows at a category level.
- What does funds under management (FUM) show?
- Funds under management is the total market value of assets held in a sector. Rising FUM can come from net inflows or from market appreciation, so this page shows flows and FUM side by side to separate the two effects.
- How current is the sector data?
- Sector breakdown data is published monthly by the Investment Association, and this page shows the latest available monthly snapshot, refreshed when the IA releases new figures.
