Abstract

[eng] The Growing Role of Investment Funds in the Financing of European Economies . This paper provides a detailed analysis of the growth of the European funds industry and its success in catching up with its US counterpart. The article also asks whether the rise in equity and equity-oriented funds - one of the most noteworthy developments of the past decade - signals a profound cultural shift in attitudes towards risk or is just a passing fad. It further investigates whether savers might adopt a more « balanced » approach between fixed-income funds and more equity-oriented instruments in the medium term in light of the stock market tumbles of 2000/2001. In addition, the article tries to identify the external and technical factors likely to play a role in the European fund industry’s growth in the years ahead. . JEL classifications : E21, G11 [fre] Cette étude décrit en détail et analyse le processus de croissance et de rattrapage de l’industrie européenne des fonds, notamment par rapport à celle des États-Unis. La montée en puissance de l’investissement en fonds actions ou orienté actions, qui reste le fait marquant de la dernière décennie, témoigne-t-elle d’un changement de culture ou d’attitude vis-à-vis du risque ou s’agit-il tout simplement d’un phénomène passager ? À la lumière des chocs boursiers de 2000/2001, peut-on envisager que les épargnants favoriseront sur le moyen terme une structure « équilibrée » entre fonds à revenus variables et fonds à revenus fixes ? Enfin cet article tente d’identifier les facteurs exogènes et ceux propres à la profession, susceptibles de fonder la croissance de l’industrie de fonds d’investissement dans les années à venir. .
