Equity Strategies Snag All Top 20 Spots on eVestment Global Screening List; UK Users Globally Focused

ATLANTA, June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- All 20 of the most popular investment products viewed in May by institutional investment professionals using eVestment were equity focused in May 2017, according to eVestment's just-released Advantage Investment Viewership Report.

And while users in most of the regions covered in the report looked at a variety of products from a geographic standpoint, UK users had their eyes on the wider world: 19 of the top 20 products viewed by UK users in May had a global focus.

The Advantage Investment Viewership Report, generated through the eVestment Advantage solution, is based on tracking daily eVestment user reviews of investment universes and products on eVestment. The report looks at Global, United States, United Kingdom, Europe ex-UK, Asia-Pacific and Canada profile viewership activity among the investors, consultants and other investment professionals who use eVestment. The report looks at the most popular products and universes overall for the past month and the universes and products that saw the most month-over-month growth in views on the site.

A few other interesting points from the report include:

    --  Half of the new entrants into the overall top 20 list of products viewed
        were US-focused equity. Each product represented a unique universe, from
        US Small Cap Core to US All Cap Core to all three US Large Cap (Core,
        Growth, and Value) strategies.
    --  Fixed income products where of particular interest to Europe ex-UK-based
        users in May. The asset class comprised nearly half of the top viewed
        product list and represented just over two-thirds of the top products by
        month-over-month change in proportion of total views. Strategic Income
        Management, LLC: SiM High Yield was the top viewed fixed income product
        for Europe ex-UK-based clients, while AXA Investment Managers: AXA WF
        Global Credit Bonds experienced the largest month-over-month change in
        the proportion of views.
    --  Overseas China Equity made its way into the top rankings of universes by
        average reviews per product among both Asia-Pacific-based (APAC) and
        UK-based clients. The 6-month rolling average of APAC-client views of
        this universe has been ticking upward since the end of Mar-2017.
    --  Canadian universes were among the largest recipients of new viewership
        among eVestment users based on month-over-month absolute changes in
        average views per product. Six of the new top universes by
        month-over-month change in average views per product were
        Canada-focused: in order, Canadian Large Cap Value Equity, Canadian
        Income Trusts, Canadian All Cap Core Equity, Canadian Mortgage Fixed
        Income, Canadian All Cap Value Equity, and Canadian Large Cap Core
        Equity.
