ESMA has published its second annual statistical report on the performance and cost of retail investment products in the EU. ESMA notes that average fund performance amounted to no more than +0.2% in 2018 (compared to +8.3% in gross terms for a one-year investment in 2017) and costs only marginally declined over the period. ESMA warns investors to see significant negative impacts going forward due to Covid-19.
