				dollar terms, worldwide investment fund assets dropped 5.7 
				percent to stand at $39.1 trillion at end-September 2015, it

				billion euros, down from 596 billion euros in the second quarter 
				of 2015, due to a sharp fall in net inflows into long-term

				growth, particularly in China, and stocks have been particularly 
				hard hit at the start of the new year.
