1、1 FOCUS 22 April 2019 Chilean Monitor:Foreign holdings of public debt increase Breaking up AUM variations into flows and performance components Assets under management(AUM)of Chilean private pension funds(AFPs)increased CLP3.0trn(USD4.9bn)to CLP141.7trn(USD208.5bn)in March.The increase was led by a
2、strong performance in all types of funds managed by AFPs(see Fig.1-2).To understand the AUM variation within AFPs,we separated the latest available AUM data by flows and performance.When looking at flows,allocations into more conservative funds continued last month.The biggest inflow was into Type E
3、 funds(most conservative funds),while the biggest outflow was from Type A funds(riskiest funds),in line with our analysis(See Chilean Pension Funds:big player;watch it closely).Thus,we found that Type E fund flows are negatively correlated to Type A fund flows.Flows accounted for CLP0.3trn of the to
4、tal increase in AUM during the month.Furthermore,flows were not volatile as usual and were responsible for CLP200bn monthly(see Fig.4).LATIN AMERICA STRATEGY Please refer to important information at the end of the report FOCUS EMERGING MARKETS|LATAM 22 April 2019 Andre Digiacomo FX&IR Latin America
