Inflows were evenly spread across European markets, with<br \/>\nover half coming from Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany, and Benelux. 46% of flows were generated from Asia<br \/>\n(Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan). <\/p>\n<p>Retail flows represented the majority of assets gathered throughout the period, thanks to the expansion of<br \/>\nCPR AM\u2019s \u201cCPR Invest\u201d international SICAV, which offers investors access to CPR AM\u2019s 17 strategies, including<br \/>\nits flagship thematic range.
